Blog Carnivals
evolgen | November 18, 2006After a month-long hiatus, a new edition of Animalicules is available at Baumhaus (I think the name means tree house). Animalicules has posts from around the blogosphere about microscopic living things. Check it out.
revere | November 17, 2006Blog 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. And they are almost always interesting and well written. We used to participate in Carnivals and then got out of the habit. But we think they are good so this week we are back, over at the Animalcules Carnival, this month hosted at Baumhaus. Animalcules is a microbiology carnival.
I hope you've already seen our contributions, but take a look at the others.…
tsmith | November 17, 2006I'm traveling tonight and tomorrow to take the kids and myself back to Ohio for Thanksgiving (props to U of Iowa for not having any classes next week), so my internet access will be limited. So this is the last call for submissions for Pediatrics Grand Rounds, which I'll write up Saturday afternoon (probably during the OSU-Michigan game) and schedule to appear here on Sunday. Send submissions (any posts relating to children's health--I'd love to see some more research posts!) to aetiology AT gmail DOT com by Saturday noonish for inclusion.
tsmith | November 17, 2006Check it out over at Bamhaus, and much thanks to Andreas for hosting this month's carnival. If anyone wans to volunteeer for future months, be sure to drop me a line; next edition will be Thursday, December 14th and is looking for a good home.
tsmith | November 15, 2006 The November edition of Animalcules will be up tomorrow--so get your links in ASAP to abaeumer at gmx dot de.
tsmith | November 14, 2006The latest edition of Grand Rounds is up, Monty Python-style, over at The Rumors were True.
tsmith | November 13, 2006It's that time again. The November edition of Animalcules will go live this coming Thursday, and is being hosted by Andreas. Send your links to him (abaeumer at gmx dot de) by Wednesday, and go ahead and include more than one if you like since we missed the October round.
Second, I'll be hosting the upcoming edition of Pediatric Grand Rounds here on Sunday. Send entries to me (aetiology at gmail dot com) preferably by Saturday afternoon. Anything I get after that I may be able to squeeze in, but I won't make any guarantees.
tsmith | November 10, 2006Scienceblogs' coturnix is hosting this month's edition of Carnival of Pozitivities, collecting posts on HIV/AIDS from around the blogosphere. Check it out for a number of excellent posts, including this post on HIV, senior citizens, and how politics affects HIV education.
tsmith | November 8, 2006Check out the best science blogging of the past two weeks over at Eastern blot.
And while we're on the subject of carnivals, Animalcules will return next week after a month's hiatus. Send any entries you've written recently about all things microbiological my way for now (aetiology at gmail dot com). Since we missed a month, go ahead and send two if you like; I've certainly not had enough time recently to do much blog reading either, so if you're written something good on the topic, I've probably missed it.
tsmith | November 7, 2006This week's Grand Rounds are up over at MSSPNexus Blog --which just happens to be celebrating its second anniversary. Congrats!
tsmith | October 31, 2006Today's Halloween edition of Grand Rounds is up over at Doctor Hébert's Medical Gumbo. Poe fans, rejoice! (Or, wince, I suppose, if you don't like people ripping off Poe...)
tsmith | October 26, 2006At least, that's the setting for the latest Skeptics' Circle hosted by Left Brain/Right Brain.
tsmith | October 23, 2006Apologies for the radio silence, so to speak. October has been a killer month for me and November won't be that much better, but I'll work on getting back to posting on a regular basis, including a new post for tomorrow. In the meantime, a few things to check out:
Mike on treating strep throat (which he's correct is near and dear to my heart--though not literally, thankfully, since they can cause heart disease!).
A belated Friday the 13th Tangled Bank
Last week's Grand Rounds.
terrasig | October 22, 2006After putting together last evening's carnival posts, I walked outside this morning to find the Q Opinion section of our local Sunday paper devoted to issues of blogging.
Specifically, writer Eric Ferreri poses the question of whether bloggers should have a code of ethics, just like journalists. Martin Kuhn, a former UNC doctoral fellow in media law, presented his own code of ethics here, with an eye toward concerns that libel suits are a real and growing possibility regarding comments made on blogs and message boards.
"There will be a case where a blogger gets socked with a major judgment…
terrasig | October 21, 2006Welcome to this week's edition of Tar Heel Tavern, a roundup of all that is good about blogging from the state of North Carolina. If I missed your submission or if it's Sunday morning and you think, "Dang, I forget to submit anything," just fire me an e-mail and I'll quickly add your work. So, let's cut to the chase:
Of all the posts, nothing captured Fall in North Carolina like the beautiful pictures Laura sent in from Moomin Light from her annual two-week trip to the mountains.
Down in the state capital, there's one more day left: Mr. R reflects at evolving education on this year's visit…
terrasig | October 19, 2006Are you a North Carolina blogger of any sort? Have you ever lived in North Carolina? C'mon, I know many, many science folks who at one time did their training in the Old North State.
Well, after hosting Tar Heel Tavern at my old blog in the Spring, I thought it would be a good idea to help out Erin and Bora and host THT #87 right here in my relatively new digs.
I have no theme - the only requirement is that you write from or about North Carolina. As I said above, expats are welcome (Derek Lowe, I'm talking to you!)
THT is a loosely launched weekend thing, so it would help me if you would…

We're in need of a host for the 9th Edition of Mendel's Garden, scheduled for 6 November. Mendel's Garden is blog carnival devoted to genetics, from evolutionary to molecular. If you would like to host the upcoming edition or any future edition, please contact Paul Decelles via the Blog Carnival Submission Page.
Also, we're switching from a biweekly schedule to a monthly schedule. A new edition of Mendel's Garden will be published on the first Monday of each month (starting November 6). Your entries are due by the Sunday before the first Monday (i.e., the day before the carnival comes out).

Sandy has posted the eight edition of Mendel's Garden at Discovering Biology in a Digital World. Go read the best genetics blogging from the past couple of weeks. If you have written something about genetics and would like to be included in the next edition of the carnival, you can submit your work here.
evolgen | October 11, 2006
Sandy at Discovering Biology in a Digital World will be hosting the upcoming edition of Mendel's Garden. If you have written something about genetics, consider submitting it to this blog carnival. You can email Sandy or use the blog carnival submission page. The deadline for submission is Saturday afternoon (she may even let you wait until Sunday).
