I neglected to include the latest carnival of Animalcules in my last round up.
Animalcules, Issue 4 is now available. Animalcules is a small but growing bi-weekly blog carnival that focuses on all things microbial and, as usual, it includes some really fine writing.
Submit entries for Animalcules (due tonight at midnight CST) and Tangled Bank (in by next Monday night).
Blog Carnivals are moderated link collections of the best of the blogosphere's postings on specific topics over the previous few weeks, or at least the best of those submitted to the carnival meister by the bloggers themselves or others.
