<div><div><br></div><div><div>2) Science Magazine covered our quixotic quest!</div><div>This
is a big deal - share it with everyone you know. Put it in your
Facebook status and Tweet about it (we recommend you do that Tuesday or
after given the Monday U.S. holiday)</div><div><span style="font-family: Helvetica,sans-serif;"><a href="http://blogs.sciencemag.org/origins/2009/09/clock-ticking-for-millionmembe.html" target="_blank">http://blogs.sciencemag.org/origins/2009/09/clock-ticking-for-millionmembe.html</a> or <a href="http://bit.ly/6zO6g">http://bit.ly/6zO6g</a> <br>
