Call for Submissions -- A Biweekly Neuroscience Carnival called "The Synapse" : Pure Pedantry

Reality is always more complicated than you think.

Profile

Jake Young is a MD/PhD student at Mount Sinai School of Medicine in NYC getting a PhD in Behavioral Neuroscience. He holds a BS and MS in Biological Sciences from Stanford University. If a volcano were to erupt Pompei-style in Central Park, his body would be preserved in a scoliotic posture over his lab desk. Archeaologists would later conclude that he spent most of his day training rats to perform tricks, until he went blind building electrical equipment by hand using a dissecting microscope. But, still, he died happy...because science is cool.

Pure Pedantry is a blog about science -- social sciences and otherwise -- as well as academic and scientific culture. No one can live on science alone, so I also like to dwell on pop culture, periodically explore the humanities, and indulge in other types of geeky goodness.

Call for Submissions -- A Biweekly Neuroscience Carnival called "The Synapse"

Hi all you Neuroscience bloggers out there. I -- and many of the other neuroscience-related bloggers on this site -- sense a strong need for a neuroscience carnival -- a way to regularly collect all of our valuable posts in a predigested form. So I am asking you to submit your best neuroscience posts over the next two weeks to me for the first "The Synapse" (a neuroscience carnival) to be published on June 25th.

Please send links including your name and your blog's name to jamesjyoung at your friendly neighborhood gmail. I would also appreciate a one or two sentence summary of the information included as I may not have time to read them all thoroughly. Those who participate regularly will get a chance to host; the host will indicate who is hosting the next issue.

Email me if you have questions. Thanks, Jake
