When I was a finalist in the annual blogging scholarship contest a few months back Amanda was one of the many people who supported me. (Thank you, again, to everyone who voted for me.) Now it is my turn to give something back.
Amanda is one of the brightest, not to mention kindest, people I know and I would hate to see her struggle to fund her college education. You can help her pay her college fees, though, by voting for her in the "My Favorite Toy" contest being held by Brickfish. She has fittingly chosen a "Brontosaurus" as her most beloved toy.
You can vote every two hours. Please give Amanda a hand and bring her a step closer to becoming a paleontologist!

Everyone says "encourage your daughters to stick with math and science". And you want to do it. You're proud of your daughter, you want her to have every option in the world open to her. But what do you do when she resists?
I was wondering why I suddenly went from 5th to 3rd! Thank you very very much, Brian!
I'm always so touched by how supportive all of you are :)
Raymond Shaw is the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful human being I've ever known in my life.
Vote early and vote often people!
Hmmm, any chance of Pharyngula featuring this.... :-D
I actually sent PZ a message asking him to post a link on Pharyngula, but I have a feeling he has bigger, more important things to tend to :)
Oh well...
At least I tried!
How much longer is there left in the contest, Amanda? I'll put up another plug if there's still time!
