Last Day to Vote

Monday, July 13th, 2009

Please vote for the BioBus and help other BioBus supporters vote too! You know, co-workers, family, roommates, insect larvae, microorganisms, etc. Tuesday at midnight is the deadline, and we’re hanging by a hair to second place in the semi-final round for the $10,000. I don’t want to lose it now that we’ve done so well all week! Thank you for everyone who has already voted and helped spread the word – the final round will be the last week of July (if we make it) and then we will need you to vote one last time.

In other news, we had a great time at Solar One’s CitySol on Sunday. We had many visitors, mostly young ones, and the New York Microscopical Society (NYMS) also joined us with some of their microscopes. We even managed to fish some zooplankton out of the East River – who knew anything was still alive in there!! Though nothing compared with the turtle that Colin from Solar One dredged up! I forgot my camera on the BioBus today, but I will post photos soon.

If I Had Ten Thousand Dollars

Wednesday, July 8th, 2009

Dear BioBus Supporters:

I’ll keep this to the point – help us win ten thousand dollars by voting for the BioBus at ideablob.com.

After you vote, please spread the word and convince your friends, family, and co-workers to vote as well. If we have the most votes by the end of the week, we enter into the finals. Registering to vote takes under five minutes (especially if you skip the optional part). Easy links for sharing via Facebook and email are on the ideablob.com page itself.

Also, join the BioBus this Sunday from 11AM-6PM when we will perform public demonstrations for children at the CitySol festival at Solar One. Solar One is located on 23rd street on the East River.

Thank you for your support. – Ben
