Vote Batts

Fellow neuroscience blogger Shelley Batts is one of 20 finalists in the running for the Student Blogging Scholarship. She's up against some stiff competition for the $10,000 first prize, and is currently in 2nd place with about 20% of the votes.

For her Ph.D., Shelley is researching the degeneration of hair cells in the inner ear. So take a minute to vote for Shelley, because hers is the kind of work that could eventually lead to better treatments for the deaf and hard of hearing.
