UPDATE: It appears there may not currently be a tsunami/earthquake fundraising diary currently on the Rec List. Please feel free to use this one for that purpose. Links to donate below the fold.

Please consider sharing this with your friends on Facebook & Twitter.

As many of you may know, this space is normally reserved for the weekly Inoculation Project series, wherein we combat the anti-science bias in red America by targeting a single science/math project in a red state classroom for funding.

In light of today's events in Japan, I am not posting a project for funding this week. Instead, I would like to ask our regular readers (and anyone else) to redirect your donations to organizations helping with the earthquake/tsunami recovery in Japan.

If you need any additional motivation, just imagine this: This all happened in the middle of the afternoon when school was in session. That means that there are hundreds (possibly thousands) of students in Japan who are still looking for their parents, even as you read this.

If you're reading this and you live in Kentucky, or used to live in Kentucky, or know another Kossack who lives in Kentucky...

The group My Old Kentucky Kos needs:

- Contributors (admins/editors)
- Followers (readers)

Right now, I'm basically just republishing stuff based on tag searches. In practical terms, that means we've got a lot of Mitch McConnell and Rand Paul diaries.

What we really need is people who can contribute original content, not just about KY's DC contingent, but also state and local politics.

Don't feel like you have to be an expert! Just come join in and write what you can, when you can.

If you're interested, send a message to me, or to the group.

And, if you just want to read, don't forget to follow us !

Are you concerned that science is under attack by the modern conservative movement? Does it drive you nuts that many kids (especially in conservative areas) aren't being taught the importance of science education?

Most importantly, do you wish there were something tangible you could do about it?

Please consider following this group: The Inoculation Project
(click the "follow" link on that page)

This group is the DK4 version of the DK3 diary series of the same name. Each week we target a math/science project in a red state classroom, and we attempt to get that project funded. With very small dollar donations we provide the most at-risk kids with exposure to the important math and science concepts they need to be fully engaged in their world. We also get to feel really awesome! Everybody wins.

We publish every Friday afternoon, usually at 3:00pm Eastern.

By way of introduction, I've reposted our Annual Report for last year below. In it, you can see the tremendous impact we've managed to have with small donations ($5, $10, $25, etc.). It's pretty awesome! Check us out!
