Don't miss your (very good) chance at today's drawing!

As this is published (about 10 AM Eastern time) there are two hours left before the noon deadline for the last of the drawings for T-shirts, books, mugs, and subscriptions to Seed to thank you for your donation to our DonorChoose Blogger Challenge.

All you have to do is make a donation to one (or more) of those challenges, then forward your email confirmation from DonorsChoose to scienceblogs@gmail.com. I'm told that at present, the chances for each entrant in the drawing of being drawn for a prize are very, very good.

Haven't made a donation yet? Here are three challenges that are within $100 of meeting their goals. Wrap them up and get your chance at a nice reward from Seed:

Aetiology needs $24
On Being a Scientist and a Woman needs $83
The Questionable Authority needs $88

The clock's ticking -- why are you still here?

Before heading off to the Charleston Conference last week, I blogged about the big announcement of Pierre Lassonde's big $25 million donation to York to found the Lassonde School of Engineering.
With hundreds of seemingly worthy charities out there, how do we decide which ones to donate to? Even if we eliminate charities that aren't effective, there are still too many choices, and too little money, to donate to all of them.
This year's DonorsChoose challenge is doing pretty well, with the total standing at a bit over $2,200. Thanks to all who have donated thus far.
As you have no doubt noticed, the annual DonorsChoose fundraiser is under way, raising money to help school teachers and children.

Thanks again for all your posts about the Donor's Choose challenge! I just returned from a conference to find a lovely set of sprog art on my desk - and the starfish and ctenophore are just what I hoped for. :) Just made a last minute donation to Aetiology to round out her 2K goal. I hope your readers pitch in to do the same for you! Good luck, and please thank the sprogs again for me. I am delighted with their drawings. Cheers, ctenotrish.
