It goes without saying that the Social Media Challenge tends to elicit a fair amount of antics; from Tomato dances, to tattoos, to straight up smack talk, but one of the more amusing parts of the challenge comes courtesy of the ScienceBlogs network, a Seed Media group venture. ScienceBlogs, the largest online community dedicated to science, is “a digital science salon featuring the leading bloggers from a wide array of scientific disciplines.” For the last three years, this community of bloggers has been a staple of the Social Media Challenge, making their presence known with the wittiest and coolest names.
A sampling, along with some recent blog posts:
Beyond their amazing names, the community has collectively raised $110,000 for DonorsChoose.org in the last two years. This year, they’re on track to make another big contribution, having raised $20, 384 for public school classrooms in just 3 weeks.
A dedicated bunch, trying to encourage science and technology innovation in public schools!
With 9 days to go, check out their collective giving here and help them meet their goals!
