But first your DonorsChoose update. We have raised $1,293 (32%) of our $4,000 goal and have eleven more days to raise the remainder. Many of my SciBlings have reached their chosen goal, so it would be nice to join their ranks. Even the minimum donation of $10 would help.

If you donate (or have done so), please forward your e-mail receipt to scienceblogs@gmail.com to take part in our prize drawing.
