The Synapse now has a permanent page : 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.

The Synapse now has a permanent page with some kickass clip art for icons. Click on The Synapse at the top of this page. Check back often for the newest issue and submission guidelines. The current submission date is the 25th of June.

UPDATE: By the way (I am so skatterbrained), we are not the only proud neuroscience carnival on the web. Neurophilosopher's Blog is organizing the first Encephalon starting on July 3rd. Interested parties should submit to encephalon_submit {AT} yahoo {DOT} com. Neuroscience is a big world people, so I am certain there is more than enough of it to go around.

The link to the Synapse is visible only on your main page, but not from individual posts, etc.

Here's a suggestion: set up a gmail address for The Synapse. Then you can forward the submissions to the new host each submission cyclee.

Thanks coturnix for pointing out that problem.

I have also changed the email on the site to a gmail email. Thanks Dave.

I have never been part of a carnival before. Does the submission have to be something not yet posted or an old post? Something old, new, or blue?

In general you send something that we published during the prior two week period -- though for the first one I haven't been holding people to that. Definitely something already posted because I have to link to it. And color is no object though I myself prefer yellow.
