You’ve only got three more hours to bid on this excellent eBay auction, to have a fondue lunch with Stephen Colbert. The bidding is up to $6,300, and it’s all going to a good cause.
Here’s more information from the Stand Up 2 Cancer web site:
SU2C funds will support research projects conducted by interdisciplinary, multi-institutional translational and clinical research “Dream Teams” and high-risk Innovative Research Grants from which ideas for new Dream Teams may arise. The funds will be administered through the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR), the largest scientific organization in the world focusing on every aspect of high-quality, innovative cancer research. Grants management and expert review will be conducted by AACR via a rigorous yet nimble, rapid, and transparent process led by a “Blue Ribbon” Scientific Advisory Committee. The Committee is led by Nobel Laureate, Dr. Phillip A. Sharp, Chairperson, along with distinguished scientists, Drs. Arnold J. Levine and Brian J. Druker, Vice-Chairpersons, and includes an additional fifteen highly accomplished senior laboratory researchers and physician-scientists and two advocates to be elected by the Advocate Advisory Council.
That’s some serious research. So go bid already!
I’m going to bid. It will seriously freak me out if I win.

A guy won?!? How completely unfair. Oh well, maybe he will give us a report and we can live vicariously through him.
