Update #9: Coffee, Cathal, and Citizen Science
With 9 days left, we want to keep the buzz going and are introducing two new prizes!
(1) Can you live without Starbucks for a day? In the name of Citizen Science, save that $3 and use it back BioCurious at our new "coffee level" and get your name listed on our website as a Kick-starter! Great for those with biocuriosity in their hearts, but who can't be with us in person.
(2) Friend of BioCurious, Cathal Garvey, has designed a special edition BioCurious Accurate 3D DNA model. It's a real looker - see below. For $26, this DNA model will be yours!
Check out Cathal's other creations at http://www.shapeways.com/hisdesign... and his blog http://letters.cunningprojects.com/
Thanks to every one of you for being a part of this effort! Cheers to Citizen Science!
Eri, Joseph & TIto
