But first, your DonorsChoose update.
We seem to have stalled out at 19% of our goal. While I’m sure we can feel happy that we are positively impacting the education of 210 students (and four of our challenges have been met), it has been five days since any reader has donated.
Our masters at Seed have generously volunteered to sweeten the pot a little. In addition to the $15,000 in matching funds that they are putting up, donors can enter to win prizes, namely:
- 1 iPod nano
- 21 "Seed Hearts Threadless" tee shirts
- 21 ScienceBlogs mugs
- 21 subscriptions to Seed magazine
- 9 copies of "The Best American Science Writing 2007"
If you donate (or have done so), please forward your e-mail receipt from DonorsChoose to scienceblogs@gmail.com. Drawings will occur on Tuesday the 16th, Tuesday the 23nd, and Tuesday the 30th of this month.
