Blog Carnivals
tsmith | August 1, 2006This week's Grand Rounds is up over at Inside Surgery.
And while I'm carnival barking, I'll send out the first reminder about this month's Animalcules, the microbiology carnival, will be hosted August 17th at Snail's Tales. You can send submissions to snailstales AT earthlink DOT net.
tsmith | July 31, 2006Check out the latest edition of Pediatrics Grand Rounds over at Ringmaster Flea's Three-Ring Circus.
tsmith | July 29, 2006More fascinating topics I didn't get around to:
Orac disses a report linking Ipods to autism. Really. He also has the low-down on snake oil salesman Kevin Trudeau's unbelievable new book. You think having a few people on a blog deny the germ theory is bad; it's even worse when an author who'll sell millions of books does so.
Carl Zimmer has an excellent post discussing circuits and evolution, and even touching on network theory.
Joseph wonders about the gender gap in academic medicine.
The Bad Astronomer asks, is the government trying to kill us?
Dr. Charles gives the details on a…
tsmith | July 25, 2006This week's Grand Rounds, a roundup of the week's best medical blogging, is up over at Medical Humanities with a unique garden theme.
tsmith | July 21, 2006The lastest edition of Mendel's Garden, a genetics carnival, is up at Viva la Evolucion!
tsmith | July 21, 2006This week's Ask a science blogger question is:
If you could have practiced science in any time and any place throughout history, which would it be, and why?...
Discussion after the fold...
Several folks have already responded with the answer of "now," and I agree. I've said before that this is an incredible time to be a scientist (funding issues notwithstanding). It's especially good to be a microbiologist. We're just starting to get a view into the incredible diversity of microbial life all around (and within!) us, and advances in our tools are allowing us to work on questions that weren'…
evolgen | July 21, 2006The third edition of Mendel's Garden -- the genetics blog carnival -- has been posted at Viva la Evolucion. Nothing like a blog with a Spanish language flavor hosted by an Irish website. Check out los artÃculos de genética.
tsmith | July 19, 2006Check out the best science blogging from the past two weeks over at Salto sobrius. Included in the current carnival is a site that's new to me, VirologyBytes, and in particular this post (well, podcast) discussing just what a virus is. Unfortunately, I'm at a computer without speakers at the moment, so I'll have to check it out later, but the site looks quite interesting.
evolgen | July 19, 2006The 58th edition of Tangled Bank has been posted at Salto sobrius. Go read some stuff people have written about science.
tsmith | July 17, 2006Even a microbiologist can't keep her kids well 100% of the time. Have a post scheduled for later today but that'll be it; hopefully things will be back to normal tomorrow. In the meantime, check out the newest edition of Pediatric Grand Rounds.
tsmith | July 14, 2006Check out the latest edition of Animalcules, the carnival of microbes, over at Science Matters. Additionally, for your macro organism fix, check out today's Friday ark.
terrasig | July 13, 2006As PharmMom is a retired nurse and some of my favorite health sciences students have been nurses, it is always my pleasure to promote Kim at Emergiblog. It's always worth a trip over if for nothing other than her vintage nursing and pharmaceutical advertisements.
The second issue of her newly-established nursing blog carnival, Change of Shift, is now live. Check it out for some fresh bloggy goodness of the nursing profession.
Navelgazing Midwife puts up a nice but somewhat chilling narrative on the continued shortage of labor and delivery services in New Orleans. Thanks for being there.
neurotopia | July 12, 2006Make sure you get your submissions in for the July 16th edition of Pediatric Grand Rounds.
tsmith | July 11, 2006Check it out over at Donorcycle. And while you're thinking about blog carnivals, don't forget to send a post along to Jen (jshoener AT princeton DOT edu) at Science Matters for the upcoming edition of Animalcules.
[Edited to add: Pediatrics Grand Rounds is looking for submissions, too...]
neurotopia | July 10, 2006Don't forget to check out The Synapse, a neuroscience blog carnival. The latest edition is up!
neurotopia | July 8, 2006A highly conserved set of genes known as the sirtuin family are known to be activated by caloric restriction (CR) and extend the lifespan of a number of species. CR may also reduce the risk of Alzheimer's Disease, and can prevent the formation of amyloid plaques in transgenic mouse models of AD. The question, then, is whether sirtuin gene activation is a mechanism through which CR can prevent AD pathology, and what genes/compounds are involved in this particular biochemical cascade. Since I'm writing this post, you can probably guess that I've found an article that addresses this very…
tsmith | July 6, 2006This month's edition of Animalcules, a carnival highlighting blog posts on all things microbial, is coming up next week at Science Matters. You can send your entries to Jen (jshoener AT princeton DOT edu)--and while you're at it, check out an interview where she discusses, err, matters of science at Meme Therapy.
tsmith | July 5, 2006Leave cyberspace for a few days, come back to a hail of stories and posts...
The second edition of the new genetics carnival, Mendel's Garden, is up over at Genetics and Health.
Medical blogging a-plenty. A new P[a]ediatric grand rounds appeared, as well as the traditional Grand Rounds (a special 4th of July version, even).
And today, hark, it's a new Tangled Bank.
