Welcome to the May 2010 Just Posts.
May was a hard month in the US, with BP’s colossal oil spill dominating news and minds across the country and the world. To reflect this, Holly (my partner in the Just Posts) has put together a special section on posts from the oil spill from May. Please go read her post to see what she has to say. (Keep in mind that Holly lives in New Orleans, a city that is already being directly affected by the spill.)

Thank you so much for including me again.
Thank you so much! I feel kind of guilty because I got to vent my frustration while at the same time being included on this prestigious list. :-)
thanks, ma’am. much obliged :)
Hi:
I’m a student preparing for a summer study program, and I was hoping that you and your readers could help me out. I’m studying social altruism and its effect on risk-taking, and I’ve got a short, anonymous survey at http://wp.me/pXA5n-7.
It shouldn’t take more than a few minutes. It’d be a big help to me.
Thank you,
Samuel
What a great collection of posts! Can I vote for them all?
Ditto. I loev the way you do these posts. It must be so much work.
Thank you to everyone who has taken my survey. I’ve been getting some great data and I really appreciate all of your help.
I’m going to be closing the survey soon and I really encourage anybody who is willing but who hasn’t taken it yet to take it now. It’s a great way to help a struggling student through the simple use of your time.
Thanks again,
Samuel
