About Stephanie

As engineering grad student at UCDavis, I am interested in the common ground between biology and machinery. Incidentally, my column's title refers...

Look what I found on Quark Expedition website!

http://www.blogyourwaytoantarctica.com/blogs/view/257

In a nutshell, Quark is sponsoring a competition to send someone on an eco-cruise of Antarctica in order to blog for a week.  The Fossil Huntress apparently threw her hat in, and I think any of her readers here would agree that she'd do a kickass job of blogging from Antarctica.


But naturally, the competition is a bit more of a popularity contest than a merit-based blogging appointment; you have 300 words in which to pitch yourself, but nobody besides your friends has any incentive to visit your entry page.  (I'd wanted to enter myself, but then I remembered that I have no friends.)

So let's be Heidi's friends and vote for her!  I tested it out, and the entire process of registering, logging in, and voting takes less than a minute.  Do it for the good of the internet-- the current leader is a radio personality from Portugal who promises to tell us whether a penguin bites his ass.  Really. 

Good luck, Heidi!

Stephanie, you are a gem! A friend sent me the link and I was excited to give it a go. It is one of the places on Earth that truly leaves me in awe for its sheer rugged beauty. And you should definitely put your blog up for the vote. You write wonderful articles! ; )

As Stephanie Pulford said, it is easy to register and vote. Heidi Henderson is the best choice of the entrants.

Come on folks!  Vote! Vote! Vote!

Stef, I'd vote to send you to Antarctica!

Wait, that came out wrong...

Oh, and while I'm here: We don't want to leave Heidi out in the cold! Or give her a cold shoulder!
