I have a bagillion things to do this week, but I would note that many of the other bloggers on this site are running a fundraiser for DonorsChoose. DonorsChoose raises money so that teachers can do science projects with kids -- hopefully involving explosions though I have not independently validated that. Anyway here is the Seed Blog's post summarizing what is up with that and all the people trying to raise funds.
Science matters, and if you want science to continue to matter you need future scientists. You got to get 'em while they're young if you know what I mean. So if you have some money please donate. (And if you have the choice donate to one of them neuroscience bloggers because I have solidarity.)
