Just because I got all elegiac

over a lovely pic of sails against a blue sky it doesn't mean I've gone soft. MissPrism is a scientist (which means she's overworked and underpaid) who has found time to make a puppet Charles Darwin to auction for our funds. Gitcher asses over there and bid: telling the story of Darwin in 2009 and enthusing a new generation of scientists needs a Beagle and to do that we the Miss Prisms of this world to help, and you to make some bids. Even if you don't, go and have a read, her post from Charles Darwin is great, funny original writing.
