Rewards, incentives, bribery...call it what you will, but we're hooking up those dedicated readers that help us out with content. iPODs and Tshirts are lame, plus you won't need them where you're going. That's right, the land of pristine beaches and Samba await.
Epigenetics and Brazil
Two words you don’t see used together that often, until now.
Epigenetics Researcher Appreciation
EpiGenie knows that research can be tough. Constant deadlines, unreasonable PI’s and failed experiments are enough to test anybody’s commitment, but without the diehard researchers out there working in the field of epigenetics we would have little to write about.
Get a Tan
That’s why we’re sending a lucky reader (and a friend) to Florianópolis, Brazil for a week’s stay with Nexus Surf, a surf-focused action sports company that will provide you with relentless service and insight that only Nexus’ expert crew of Brazilian locals can provide.
Your stay will include:
- Daily guided surf tours (or surf lessons, depending on ability level) to the best breaks on and around the island.
- Deluxe beachfront accommodations in the best location on the island.
- Access to adventure sports, including river rafting, kitesurfing, sandboarding and more.
- Florianopolis city tours and insider’s view to Brazilian culture and local customs.
- A tremendous variety of stunning beaches and breathtaking natural beauty.
- Transportation to and from all day and night time activities.
- Rental car (compact with air conditioning and local insurance included).
- Breakfast service delivered daily to your residence.
- Local cell phone use to facilitate staying in touch.
- Personalized airport pickup and drop-off.
What’s the Catch?
Nothing makes the Editor at EpiGenie happier than talking with readers and getting new ideas for articles, candidates for interviews, and guest commentaries for the site, so starting with signing up for the EpiGenie Newsletter (if you haven’t already), you’ll start racking up points and getting closer to a trip to Brazil on us. If you’re already signed up, nice work, break out the sunblock because you just earned 100 points.
Deadline
Whoever has the most points by Dec 31st, 2008 is heading to Brazil on us.
Other Prizes
In addition to the trip, we’ll be giving away gifts like iTunes and Amazon gift certificates randomly throughout the year because that's how we roll. If you've read this far you deserve something!
