The ScienceBlogs Donor's Choose Blogger Challenge is nearing completion. You have until July 1 to donate to the evolgen challenge and forward your confirmation email to this address if you want to win any of the awesome prizes.
If we reach our goal of $500, Donors Choose will kick in an extra 10% for every dollar contributed -- we're 42% of the way to our goal. Let's see if we can make a big push in these last few days. Janet has compiled a list of blogs that are close to their goals, but she left evolgen off the list. We're just as close (if not closer than those other guys), so you should donate to the evolgen challenge so that we can reach our goal.

If you haven't, go and read to evolgen's entries on the Specter-Harkin Amendment that successfuly passed in the Senate to increase the NIH budget. Next up is the House. If you care about basic research in the biomedical sciences contact your local reps pronto.

Mea culpa! I fixed the list.
