I have a bagillion things to do this week, but I would note that many of the other bloggers on this site are running a fundraiser for DonorsChoose. DonorsChoose raises money so that teachers can do science projects with kids -- hopefully involving explosions though I have not independently validated that. Anyway here is the Seed Blog's post summarizing what is up with that and all the people trying to raise funds.
Science matters, and if you want science to continue to matter you need future scientists. You got to get 'em while they're young if you know what I mean. So if you have some money please donate. (And if you have the choice donate to one of them neuroscience bloggers because I have solidarity.)

Sure, we still have about a week of July left, but those days are getting shorter and soon the classrooms will be filling up again.
ScienceBlogs readers have raised $14,913.09 to help science teachers get the materials they need for engaging explorations of magnets, marine biology, electricity, and evolution. You've helped fund classroom equipment and field trips.
