Remember the Donor’s Choose campaign? Remember how I offered AMAZING PRIZES to a lucky randomly selected donor? I haven’t forgotten – just got a bit swamped with work and travel. We’re only $171 away from buying a some awesome sea life for this low-income classroom in Utah – donate through Friday and be eligible for package of goodies, shipped right to your door by yours truly.
But you don’t have to stop there! The #SciFund campaign is challenging scientists to fund a research project using crowdsourcing. They’ve raised over $45,000 for awesome science so far, and they are offering prizes too! Browse the projects and donate to whatever interests you. You can help measure the force of a duck’s erection (I kid you not), build a robo-squirrel for rattlesnake bait, figure out why some dolphins have their fins on backwards, save Hawaii’s coral reefs, and figure out why it’s so hard to count fish underwater. AND MORE!

Honestly, I think the world is better off without robot squirrels. When the machines take over the world, I don’t want any of them to be able to climb trees. That’s our only advantage.
Fear not, the robo-squirrels are modeled after burrow-dwelling California ground squirrels. We aren’t supposed to have much in the way of trees here in the Southwest.
robo-squirrels only want you for your nuts…
