There are only nine days left in the Science Bloggers for Students DonorsChoose Challenge! You guys rock--having donated over $2500 through the LabSpaces giving pages. We fully funded one of my favorite projects, Oh! Rats! But there are still plenty of great projects remaining, and there's still time to get in on the action and to get some more moolah out of HP for classroom science projects. And you still have a chance to win adorable plush molecules from Prim and Plush!

My goal for the final push of the DonorsChoose campaign is to reach 25 donors. When my page has 25 unique donors, one of the new donors (#16 to #25) will get a cute Mr Methane molecule (pictured right). If you want in, make a donation (as little as $1!) through my giving page. If the donor acknowledgemnt matches your LabSpaces user name or Twitter handle, you're all set; if you prefer to make an anonymous donation but want a shot at Mr Methane, forward your DonorsChoose email receipt (you can anonymize it in Photoshop if you like) to biochem.belle@gmail.com

Finally, everyone who has already donated or donates through my giving page between now and the end of the campaign on Tuesday, November 9, will be entered into the final 'grand prize' pick for a complete set of the Three Phases of Water (pictured left). And yes, they are more adorable in real life than they are in pictures.

So go... give. Secure your chance at some plush molecules. Enjoy that warm, fuzzy feeling of helping some school kids learn science so we don't end up enslaved to an army of scientifically literate monkeys.
