Blog Carnivals
evolgen | August 28, 2006
This is a reminder that I will be hosting the fifth edition of Mendel's Garden. Mendel's Garden is a blog carnival devoted to genetics. If you have written a genetics related entry on your blog and would like it to be included in the carnival, either email me (evolgen [at] yahoo [dot] com) or use the Blog Carnival submission page. You may submit entries relating to quantitative genetics, molecular genetics, evolutionary genetics, developmental genetics, or anything else genetical in nature. The deadline for submission is this Friday (September 1).
tsmith | August 26, 2006Those kooky folks over at Frink Tank, what with their delayed additional Tangled Bank goodness. (I will say, though, that's certainly the only time anyone's ever accused me of having "pop cult cred.")
tsmith | August 22, 2006As fellow ScienceBlogger Dr. Charles so aptly puts it, check out the veritable "orgy of medical goodness" over at The Examining Room of Dr. Charles.
tsmith | August 21, 2006The latest issue of Mendel's Garden, a carnival o' genetics blogging, is up over at The Inoculated Mind.

tsmith | August 18, 2006As the conference wraps up, I just want to be sure to point you to some other areas where AIDS is being covered on ScienceBlogs.
Every week, our Seed overlords pose a question to us (originally titled, "Ask a ScienceBlogger.") This week's question is:
To what extent do you worry about AIDS, either with respect to yourself, your children, or the world at large?...
You can find the collection of responses here.
In more basic science, Sandra of Discovering Biology in a Digital World is starting a series on using HIV to prove some points about evolution. Looks like a great start to the series;…
tsmith | August 17, 2006...is up and running over at Snail's Tails.
If general skepticism is more your thing, be sure to also check out the new Skeptics' Circle at Interverbal.
evolgen | August 17, 2006David at the World's Fair wants to know what makes a good viral campaign:
Essentially, as scientific types who tend to analyse, over-analyse, supra-analyse things, and who like to categorize and follow empirical trends, I'm interesting in hearing what you think it is that sparks these viral outbursts of information outreach? This question (and apologies for its convolution) also relates directly to your role as a blogger, where the assumption is that you revel in increased traffic, and are kind of looking for these tricks anyway. I guess, I'm just interested in hearing a scientist's opinion…
tsmith | August 16, 2006This month's edition of Animalcules will go live tomorrow, so this is your last chance to get your submissions in. Details ca be found at Snail's Tails, where it will be hosted. I know I've seen several new microbiology blogs in the past month or so, so please, use this as a chance to introduce yourself to a wider audience!
tsmith | August 15, 2006Check it out, in the form of a letter to his 2-month-old son over at Hospital Impact.
tsmith | August 14, 2006Don't forget to send along your entries--this month's Animalcules, the microbiology carnival, will be hosted this Thursday, August 17th at Snail's Tales. You can send submissions to snailstales AT earthlink DOT net--earlier is always appreciated!
tsmith | August 13, 2006Read the best posts of the past two weeks and test your pediatrics knowledge over at Unintelligent Design.
evolgen | August 12, 2006Anyone know what happened to Mendel's Garden #4? It was supposed to be posted at The Inoculated Mind on August 6. Today is August 12. The last post on The Inoculated Mind is dated July 24. Wussup?
tsmith | August 8, 2006I'm still catching up on everything I missed over the weekend, so in the interim, check out this week's Grand Rounds hosted by Mexico Medical Student.
neurotopia | August 6, 2006Welcome to the 4th edition of The Synapse, a blog carnival for all things mind and brain held every two weeks. A little shorter than normal this round, due to the fact that there's a grant deadline tomorrow and a lot of regulars are busy busy little monkeys, self included.
The neurophilosopher presents Artificial animals controlled by a "brain" in a culture dish posted at The neurophilosopher. Nifty pics of rat cortical neurons grown on an electrode array are included.
Mind Hacks brings us a poignant topic, the Neuropsychology of combat and chemical warfare where the effects of chronic…
tsmith | August 3, 2006This week's "Ask a scienceblogger" is more pop culture than actual science:
What movie do you think does something admirable (though not necessarily accurate) regarding science? Bonus points for answering whether the chosen movie is any good generally.
Thoughts after the jump...
I'm one of those people who forgets about 90% of the movies I watch, so I welcome suggestions from y'all in the comments about other good answers to the question. As for me, along the lines of coturnix's post on making science--and scientists--cool, one of my favorite movies ever is Real Genius. Val Kilmer plays…
neurotopia | August 2, 2006.... will be hosted here. Make sure you get your submissions to me by Saturday night. The cutoff is 11:59pm.
