Today on Science (1003)

But first a DonorsChoose update ... We’re currently at $190 and seventh among the Scienceblogs challenges. We can do better!

I’m working on some prizes to give to random donors. Stay tuned.

There appears to be a slight problem in that some donations are not being attributed to this challenge. If that happens to you (or has happened), please let me know and I’ll have the DonorsChoose people fix the problem.

Link to the challenge.

And now, your TIS ...
