Hey, the freethinkers are doing well with the DonorsChoose challenge to support school teachers. We're still a bit shy of our final goal, so if you want to help show that we godless folk can be charitable, loosen those wallets and kick in a few bucks.
And if you don't like my chosen proposals, or you'd rather not back an openly and proudly god-free endorsement, browse the leaderboard and pick one of those other sciencebloggers'choices. They're all good. Maybe not as good as mine, but they're trying.

As Janet has surely mentioned by now, we're kicking off a The ScienceBlogs/DonorsChoose raise-money-to-help-science-classrooms-a-thon!
I write a lot on here about science education. Indeed, that's a big motivator for having this site at all. Science is endlessly fascinating, and it's a pleasure…

Hey man, I think my Barn Owl and the Pellet project is pretty damn evo-devo!
146 donors for $16,000 means the average donation is over $100. But your donation doesn't have to be big. If the other thousands of people who read this blog all sent in $1.00, the challenge would be completed. Come on, folks, skip Starbucks for a day and contribute to science education.
Sorry, caught me in a bad month. No hours at the job and I am shelling out... probably $200 more a month right now than I am making. Even $1 means not having bus fair for work on Friday. lol
Hate this time of year. Too early for the holidays and not near enough shoppers just buying essentials. :(
If they first have to move to the US then that's probably more than the $100 average!
Heartless atheist that I am, I dropped a $50 on the Salmon in the Classroom project.
Mmmmmm, Salmon. With a little olive oil and then throw them on the grill! Wait, what is the school going to be doing with the salmon?
