Qwality Edukayshun
One of the best advertisements for Halifax’s Dalhousie University is its alumni publication that feature the best and brightest of those that have walked their fabled halls. You can get your own copy of the magazine on their website if you think I’m kidding even a little bit. The Winter 2009 issue is available in [...]

Ethical Bribes? Social Media for Fund Raising
I’m a fan of the donorschoose.org method of directed, project based funding for schools and classrooms. While it began out of desperation and as a result of underfunding in the school system, it’s become a great way to help fight for more real science in classrooms.

DNA Detectives didn’t have a single donation after having been submitted on Nov. 7, but I was sold when I read it. This is a proposal that I would have LOVED in biology when I was in High School. Of course, I really enjoyed anything where you had to get your hands dirty or play [...]

More money to give away
I read through dozens of proposals to give away the $30 certificate that I received from the SixApart / LiveJournal crew, and finally found a project that was buying microscopes for a poor school. Today I find a surprise in my inbox… more money to allocate… I don’t have any of my own money to [...]
