Encephalon: Request for Submissions

By grrlscientist on September 10, 2007.

I suppose it goes without saying that I have been interested in learning about brain and behavior for most of my life, and many of my interests have focused on all aspects of the development of birdsong and bird food caching behavior. Additionally, since I have lived with parrots for nearly my entire life as well, I am of course very interested in understanding how they learn their behaviors and how to speak. So, as a result, I have been invited to host the next edition of the blog carnival, Encephalon, two weeks from now on 24 September. So please send your essays about the neurobiology of the brain and the interaction between brain and behavior, learning, and remembering to grrlscientist [at] NoSpamRemoveThis gmail [dot] com.

Quoth an antivaxer: Vaccines are making dogs autistic!

If there's one thing about antivaxers, it's that they're single-minded beyond belief. No matter what the chronic health problem, it's always about the vaccines. To them, vaccines are always the cause. Autism? Vaccines must be the cause. Asthma? vaccines. Diabetes? Obviously vaccines.

Flies disprove evolution!

Or at least "Darwinism" whatever the hell that means these days. I guess they couldn't keep quiet all day. UD's new argument is an easily dismissed straw man. It goes like this.
