Arecibo observatory fundraiser

We have just added a link in the cover to the Arecibo observatory Fundraiser page. The Observatory is facing a funding crisis and might have to shut down. That would be a huge blow to the research community in PR. Here at CienciaPR we are trying to coordinate efforts with Friends of Arecibo, a non-profit created by scientists and run by Cornell University aimed at securing funding for the Arecibo observatory. Besides the link we provide in the cover, where direct contributions can be made, we will also include shortly a series of tools that will allow our members to sign petition and send them to the NSF board. In the meantime we encourage our members to join efforts with the Friends of Arecibo by visiting their page, learning about what is going on in Arecibo. If you are in PR, you can contact your representative and ask them to vote for the PR bond aimed at helping Arecibo. I have included a post below with the bond information.
