Ok people, here's the deal: I wanted to be a biology teacher forever. One of my favorite things in the world is seeing that look on a student's face when they get it. So in order to see the look on someone's face, I've decided to run a contest in which you can see the look on someone's face: Mine.

For each project that gets funded through my page at the Labspaces linky, I will post a picture of me doing something ridiculous. If you know me at all, I don't like having my picture taken. My close friend, @imagegoddess, will attest to this. I set the bar low people. Let's get this done! If everyone that visits this site would give up the $4.00 that normally would give them an over-sugared, over-caffeinated *$ drink, we might be able to make some kids excited about science. One of them could become an engineer, or a biologist, or president. Let's be a little tired tomorrow to make some children excited.

Here's the link: Linky-Linky

Here are the picture options:

Me with a cow at the Wisconsin State Fair.

Me doing a cartwheel in front of my lab door the day I got my first clone in grad school.

Me and Jackass the day I defended.

Me with a riding crop.

Me in this year's Halloween costume. (Obviously not until November 1st)

If more 6 projects are funded, I will record a voice mail/phone alarm message for a randomly generated donor (this might only really work if you are a boy, but whatever floats your boat :) )
