 My friend and colleague Caroline
 Chaboo (a fellow Jayhawk, at KU) is 
 holding a public competition to name a new beetle species
 from Peru - 
 the competition is open now, and open to everyone, for a
 chance at 
 taxonomic immortality (as it were). *This is a non-profit
 event, to 
 raise public awareness*. This is NOT a name auction, for
 those among you 
 who have concerns about the latter practice. She asks for
 people to pass 
 the link along as widely as possible, to encourage broad
 participation 
 by members of the public:
