Quick notes

  • First, many thanks to everyone who donated to the DonorsChoose challenge during October! Altogether, everyone who participated at ScienceBlogs raised about $30,000 for students, and I was proud to see that most of my challenges were fully funded.
  • The Boneyard #25 is delayed due to some technical difficulties, but it should be up sometime tomorrow. I'll announce it when it is ready, but if you have any last-minute nominations please send them to me sometime today.
  • The finalists for the 3rd Annual Blogging Scholarship were supposed to be announced yesterday, but there has been a delay. They should be up sometime on Thursday. I hope I make it, but if not, I still encourage you to vote for your favorite student blogger as the contest moves into the next phase.
