Blog Carnivals
tsmith | July 18, 2007Today's Tangled Bank has just gone up over at The Voltage Gate; this week's Grand Rounds is up at vitum medicinus, and Pediatric Grand Rounds can be found over at Parenting Solved.
tsmith | July 9, 2007 Welcome to Aetiology and this week's edition of Grand Rounds. It's my pleasure to host this carnival for a second time, and I greatly appreciate all of you who sent along submissions for today's round-up.
I want to start by briefly mentioning what looks to be an excellent new source, especially for those of us who do a lot of lecturing and are always looking for good images. Via John at Stranger Fruit I found that Wellcome has released a gallery of medical images to the public. I'm featuring a few below, but the site is worth a browse when you have a few extra minutes.
So, without…
neurotopia | July 9, 2007I recently posted three "Basics"-style blurbs about menopause and hormone therapy (HT). If you missed it, they are here, here, and here. The field has gone through a lot of upheaval since the WHI studies in 2002, and I would just like to share my thoughts on how to approach where we stand now. These are the sorts of questions and considerations that researchers and health care professionals need to keep in mind when they evaluate HT. After the reference-heavy previous posts this one is going to just be my thoughts, and very off-the-cuff at that.
We, as humans, have a tendency to put…
tsmith | July 8, 2007Don't forget to send your entries for this week's Grand Rounds along to me by the close of business today.
evolgen | July 8, 2007The sixteenth edition of Mendel's Garden (the genetics blog carnival) has been posted by Hsien at Eye on DNA. If you'd like to host an upcoming edition of the carnival, you can sign up for the October, November, or December edition by emailing me (evolgen[at]yahoo[dot]com).
tsmith | July 5, 2007Need some more reading? Check out the latest edition of Tangled Bank over at Aardvarchaeology, and the latest Skeptics' Circle over at The Skeptical Alchemist.
Meanwhile, as I mentioned previously, next week's Grand Rounds will be here at Aetiology. Send your submissions in to me by Sunday evening for maximum inclusion potential; I can't guarantee I'll have time to look over Monday stragglers.
tsmith | July 3, 2007A few other topics readers here may appreciate:
First and foremost, this week's Grand Rounds can be found over at Over my med body!. Next week, however, it will be hosted right here at Aetiology for the second time, so send your posts along to me (aetiology AT gmail DOT com), preferably by Sunday evening.
Pediatric Grand Rounds also had a new edition over the weekend, which can be found over at Shinga's Breath Spa for Kids.
National Geographic's July cover story is on malaria--a really good read. (via Panda's Thumb).
Matt Nisbet was late to the scientists and journalists conversation. He…
evolgen | July 1, 2007The tenth edition of Gene Genie has been posted at Genomicron. Given that TR Gregory is an evolutionary geneticist based in Canada, one is left to wonder why he didn't attend the SMBE meeting. I know Larry Moran was at his daughter's wedding, but what was Gregory's excuse?
Also, the next edition of Mendel's Garden will be hosted by Hsien at Eye on DNA. If you have anything to submit, you can use the blog carnival submission page.
tsmith | June 21, 2007Check out a very clever Tangled Bank over at Greg Laden's place, and the latest Skeptics' Circle (Solstice edition!) at Relatively Science.
tsmith | June 19, 2007It's that time again. Check out the latest edition of Pediatric Grand Rounds over at Med Journal Watch, while the original version of Grand Rounds can be found this week at code blog: tales of a nurse (set up as a very cute advice column).
tsmith | June 12, 2007
I'm on the road today, literally--driving from Iowa to Ohio with kids and dogs in tow. (Well, okay, not exactly in tow--I do allow them to ride *inside* the car). I have a post scheduled for a bit later, but in the meantime, hop on over and check out not one, but two versions of this week's Grand Rounds. For you minimalists, click here; whereas if you want a bit more meat with your post descriptions, check out this version instead.
Not sure when I'll next have a chance to get online, so I apologize in advance for any comments that get hung up in the junk filter...I'll pull them out as…
evolgen | June 6, 2007Matt's posted the newest edition of the Tangled Bank (the original science blog carnival) at his Behavioral Ecology Blog. There's a link to a post on Mike Lynch's anti-adaptationist paper in PNAS and another to a post by Pedro's on protein evolution.

revere | June 3, 2007Pediatric Grand Rounds, a form of blog carnival for medical and health blogging, is now up over at Awesome Mom's site. Lots of good stuff and even something from EM linked there. If you are interested in children's health or pediatrics or just science in service of the community, stop by. Here's the link: http://awesomemom.blogspot.com/2007/06/pediatric-grand-rounds-24.html
evolgen | June 3, 2007There are two genetics blog carnivals available for your perusing today. First is Gene Genie hosted by Hsien at Eye on DNA. The second is Mendel's Garden, over at The Daily Transcript. Hsien will also be hosting the next edition of Mendel's Garden. Visit the Mendel's Garden webpage if you'd like to contribute to the next edition.
tsmith | May 29, 2007While I'm still getting caught up on work from time at the conference and the holiday, check out the latest edition of Grand Rounds over at From Med Skool.
tsmith | May 23, 2007This week's Grand Rounds is a real treat. Rather than just being a "best of" writing for the recent week, contributors were asked to dig through the archives and send in the posts that best defined their blog, a sample of their best writing (in their own opinion, of course). Check out the results here at Impacted Nurse.
A new Tangled Bank is also up today. You can find it at Geek Counterpoint.
Just got back from dinner with a bunch of sciencebloggers and other sciencey folks; more on that tomorrow!
tsmith | May 21, 2007...check it out over at Ami Chopine--thanks to Shinga for sending along my entry on a little boy's brush with death following his father's smallpox vaccination. Lots of excellent posts collected over there; check em out.
However, what may be the most notable, well, note, is that Dr. Flea has flown the coop. There are a collection of posts on the situation at the beginning of this week's PGR; I'll just join others in hoping that once his legal issues have blown over, Dr. Flea will be back--he is missed.
tsmith | May 15, 2007I'm in DC again at the American Institute of Biological Sciences meeting, hearing all about evolutionary biology and human health. It's been busy, but yesterday I ran into fellow sciencebloggers Chris Mooney (who was giving his "Framing science" talk along with Matt Nisbet, who I didn't have a chance to meet). I also saw Jason Rosenhouse and got to chat with him for a few minutes. More sessions today, then back to Iowa...
In the meantime, this week's Grand Rounds, the weekly medical blogging carnival, is up over at Medical Humanities.
tsmith | May 9, 2007I've been remiss in linking carnivals lately, but here are a few fresh this week:
Tangled Bank #79 at Epigenetics News
Pediatric Grand Rounds can be found at The Wait and The Wonder
And Grand Rounds is up over at The Blog that Ate Manhattan.
