As part of our fundraising to hold a DIY Science Zone at GeekGirlCon<\/a>, we promised to perform acts of whimsy<\/a> as we hit funding milestones. We’ve passed $3,000, which is amazing and means we’re halfway to our goal. (Feel free to donate money at this link<\/a> to help us reach it, by the way!)<\/p>\n

It also means that we’re starting to perform our Acts of Whimsy. We’d passed $2,000 by Friday, so as promised, we played Mad Libs for science. Twice! We chose to mutilate one of my old abstracts<\/a> and Torrey Stenmark’s thesis<\/a>. Nicole “Noisy Astronomer” Gugliucci<\/a> gathered us all into a Google+ hangout last Friday and we were off to the races.<\/p>\n
