Blog Carnivals
evolgen | May 8, 2007Trevor has posted the newest edition of Mendel's Garden at Epigenetics News. Go check out the best genetics blogging of the past month.
Also, we need hosts for the upcoming editions. If you'd like to host the June, July, or August editions, please email me (see the contact tab at the evolgen webpage) or visit the Mendel's Garden page.
tsmith | April 24, 2007Clark has a meta-carnival up, highlighting some of the most interesting posts from the first year of the Pediatric Grand Rounds Carnival. Talk about one-stop shopping!

Tara has posted a brand new Tangled Bank at Aetiology. Head on over to her place for the best science blogging of the past two weeks.
tsmith | April 11, 2007Welcome to another edition of Tangled Bank, a round-up of the best science blogging of the past fortnight:
Top story--mammals and the KT event
Since the previous Tangled Bank, a few big stories hit the blogosphere. One that generated a lot of attention was a paper in Nature analyzing mammalian diversity, and its relation to the K-T extinction. This was picked up by:
Greg Laden: Mammals and the K-T EventRPM of evolgen for his Phylogeny Friday.PZ's "Don't Blame the Dinosaurs"Grrl Scientist: Mammals Began to Diversify Prior to K/T-BoundaryNick Matzke at Panda's Thumb: Mammalian…
tsmith | April 9, 2007Just a reminder that Tangled Bank will be hosted here at Aetiology on Wednesday. Send your best science writing along me at aetiology AT gmail DOT com by Tuesday afternoon for inclusion.
tsmith | April 3, 2007A few submissions have already rolled in for next week's Tangled Bank, hosted here at Aetiology. Send your best science writing along me at aetiology AT gmail DOT com by next Tuesday the 10th for inclusion in Wednesday's carnival.

Alex has posted the (lucky) thirteenth edition of Mendel's Garden at the Daily Transcript. It's (not) an April Fools Day edition, but it would have been if it had come out yesterday. And there's a theme of magic fish flakes for you favorite model organism, but I don't think they're safe to incorporate into my fly food. What are you still doing reading this? Get over to Alex's place and read about genetics.

Pedro has posted the ninth edition of Bio::Blogs with the best bioinformatics blogging of the past month. Pedro even made up a nifty pdf of all the posts, which you can print out and read while taking a bath.
tsmith | March 14, 2007The most recent edition of Tangled Bank, your one-stop science blogging carnival, is up over at Living the Scientific Life.
In addition, there are a few other posts I've been meaning to plug:
Nick on Texas House overturning mandatory HPV vaccination.
Burt at Panda's Thumb on Why you should care if cattle get fourth-generation cephalosporins and why doctors need to know about evolution (a takedown of this Discovery Institute essay).
And a nice follow-up to those: Mike on why antibiotic resistance matters.
tsmith | March 2, 2007I was planning on writing up this aforementioned talk for this afternoon's post, but there ended up being so much to say about it (and not enough time, alas, as I have to run to a faculty meeting shortly) that I'll save it until Monday. (I *will* say that it was jaw-dropping, but not in a good way). In the meantime, the fortnightly carnival of science blogging, Tangled Bank, is up over at Neurotopia after a few days of computer issues, and the latest Skeptics' Circle can be found at The Second Sight.
neurotopia | February 27, 2007Looking for The Bank? It will appear here this afternoon EST. I have a couple questions for the host and I have some fun fun monkey lab business to attend to in the morning, so once I get the final word from PZ after that I'll put it up.
Have a great day!!!
terrasig | February 20, 2007Jake Young at Pure Pedantry has put together the "Oscars edition" of Grand Rounds for this week.
The best of this week's medical blogging makes for great reading, but I got a kick out of Jake's explanation of the Oscars that precedes the proceedings.
Thanks, Jake, for including our post on patients searching to purchase sodium dicholoracetate (DCA).
tsmith | February 13, 2007Check out this week's medical blogging roundup over at Chronic Babe, and bring your sweet tooth.
evolgen | February 9, 2007Hsien at Genetics & Health has posted the newest edition of my favorite (just) science blog carnival: Mendel's Garden. There are oodles of reasons why you should love genetics (and only a couple why you should not).
If you would like to host a future edition of Mendel's Garden, visit the carnival's blog and leave a comment or email Paul.
evolgen | January 31, 2007Jeremy has posted the newest edition of the Circus of the Spineless -- the blog carnival dedicated to invertebrates -- at the Voltage Gate. We'll excuse the carnival organizers for creating a carnival organized around a paraphyletic taxon this one time because Jeremy included one of our posts on wasps. He's also got stuff on cephalopods, shrimp, snails, spiders, and a bunch of other spineless critters.
tsmith | January 31, 2007Slipped my mind that this was today, but check out what others have been blogging about in the latest edition of Tangled Bank at Ouroboros.
tsmith | January 29, 2007You can find it over at Unintelligent Design. Had a busy weekend and am teaching and in meetings today, but I'll have some new material up tomorrow.
evolgen | January 20, 2007Three things:
A new edition of Mendel's Garden has been posted at Neurotopia. Go read the latest genetics blogging.
The anecdote at the beginning of my rant about elevator usage needs a slight correction: I think the grad student who took the elevator down has a bum knee (it's a new injury). I'm not too disappointed that she took the elevator, as walking down stairs sucks when your knee's screwed up. That's what I get for passing judgment without knowing all the facts. But that doesn't make up for all the perfectly healthy people who ride the elevator despite the fact that they don't need…
