Your $10 could solve science illiteracy!\u00a0 OK, it would at least be a step in the right direction.\u00a0\u00a0 Why? Because $10 (and change) will pay for one subscription to Current Science magazine for Mrs. L’s class in Michigan.\u00a0 “Breaking Science News”<\/a> is the last<\/em> project we need to fund to wrap up the Ocean Bloggers Ocean in the Classroom Initiative!<\/a> The project only needs $177 more to bring exciting, current science to the hands of low-income students. \u00a0 Your $10 may just seem like a drop in the bucket,\u00a0 but the great thing about $10 is that you probably won’t miss it.\u00a0\u00a0 In fact, Dr. M at the Deep Sea News is so sure you can spare $10 that bad things will happen otherwise. <\/a><\/p>\n

\"Current<\/a>
Put fun science in the hands of kids! Donate today!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Still not convinced?\u00a0 Well here’s my “Let me tell you why I gave $10” spiel.\u00a0 I gave $10 to this project simply because I think communicating science is just as important as doing science itself.\u00a0 We won’t be able to keep doing all the cool research we do if the population at large doesn’t understand why it’s important, or why they should care (or fund us).<\/p>\n

Getting my hands on a similar type\u00a0 of current events glossy when I was in 6th grade\u00a0 was one of those world-expanding events that totally turned me on to learning. \u00a0 Help make science tangible, relevant and fun for these kids in Michigan by showing them it’s part of their world!<\/p>\n

OK, that’s my soap box.\u00a0 Bottom line: even penny-pinching grad students can spare $10 for a worthy cause. \u00a0 The Ocean Bloggers in The Classroom Initiative has been a smashing success so far, with 7 out of 8 great projects fully funded already (chest waders, coral reef flip-books, a salt water invert tank, and more)!\u00a0 We are just $177 short. \u00a0\u00a0 So drop in and drop that $10, $20 or $200 today and make a difference!<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
