Save Science Friday

Jim Fruchterman wrote in the Huffington Post : 'Science Friday' Radio Program Faces Funding Crisis. "We at SciFri are facing severe financial difficulties, i.e. raising money. NSF [National Science Foundation] has turned us down for continuing funding, saying they love what we do, we are sorely needed, but it's not their job to fund us. At the same time, NPR has said the same thing, telling us that if we want to stay on the air, etc, we now have to raise all our own money. Despite what listeners may think, NPR only gives us about 10 percent of our funding."

You can done here or become a sponsor here. "Until the end of 2010, the Noyce Foundation will match your gift to the Science Friday Initiative $2 to $1."
