Donors Choose Update

OK GNXP readers...Donors Choose update. Been quiet about this. First, the good news. ScienceBlogs has raised A LOT of money. And Seed is throwing in matching funds (and possible prizes). The "bad" news is that my challenge is really not going too well :-) Page down on the leader-board, will you? So I've added many new causes (some of them were fully funded already). Check 'em out. If you feel inclined on giving, give. I'm generally trying to focus on biology & math since I think those are pretty "value added" in terms of how far one's money will go.
