There don’t seem to be a lot of carnival notices in my mailbox today, so I’ll just note that the Friday Ark #113 is up, and remind everyone that the next Tangled Bank is coming up on Wednesday, at Newton’s Binomium (by the way, I thought his post on the difficulty of explaining the importance of evo-devo was good—there are biologists who look utterly blank at the enthusiasm the subject generates in some of us). Send stuff to host@tangledbank.net or me by Tuesday.
I’m falling behind on the carnival circuit! Here are some I should have noted the other day.
This week’s Tangled Bank covers everything from spacewomen to cavemen in The Tangled Bank – The Future, Present, and Past at easternblot.net. The election news is all over, so it’s time to read some science!
A few carnival announcements:
I know, it seems like we just had one, but it’s coming up again: a new Tangled Bank on Wednesday, 8 November at Easternblot.net. Send links to science articles to PZ Myers or host@tangledbank.net by Tuesday if you want to seem them there.
This is a gross violation of my expectations: the Halloween edition of The Synapse doesn’t even once crack a zombie joke. I was terribly disappointed.
At least it does serve up a nice platter of brains.
Our regularly scheduled host has been incommunicado, but fortunately, Josh Rosenau heroically stepped into the breach and has delivered a last-minute Tangled Bank #65 to us.
By the way, the mysterious disappearance of this week’s Tangled Bank host is still unexplained, but Thoughts from Kansas has stepped forward to fill in the gap (thanks to you others who volunteered, too—I went through the list in the order the offers were received, and Josh was first). Give him a little time, he’s doing this on very short notice, and I’ll put up an announcement whenever it’s done.
I have forwarded to him all the submissions that were sent via me or host@tangledbank.net, but if you sent anything to metaanalysis directly, you might want to resend it to me.
New (and old) carnivals I’m just now getting around to:
The next Tangled Bank will be at meta_analyses on Wednesday, 25 October—send links to your science blog entries to PZ Myers or host@tangledbank.net.
The latest Tangled Bank is online (a little bit late) at Neurophilosophy. My notice is a little bit late, too, but in one of those odd coincidences, it’s because I’m in London…as is this week’s host, and I met him at the natural history museum yesterday.
Better late than never, and just in case you haven’t read it already, head on over.
