Last week we made a special birthday wish for our 500 fivers appeal reach a total of £1000 in time for the 500th issue of BioNews, published today. It was a close call, but we're pleased to report that thanks to your kindness and support we've now raised a total of £1005 (201 fivers) towards our appeal!

We've still got a fair way to go before we reach our target, but the good news is that we'll be celebrating our 10th birthday all year, so it's not too late to donate.

To show your appreciation of BioNews and help to keep it free from subscription charges in the months ahead, donate online or send a cheque (payable to Progress Educational Trust) to:
