Pure Pedantry : The Synapse #13 and Synapse Announcements

Reality is always more complicated than you think.

Profile

Jake Young is a MD/PhD student at Mount Sinai School of Medicine focusing in Neuroscience. He is due to graduate in 2032. He received a BS and a MS in Biological Sciences from Stanford University -- where he spent most of his time drinking heavily and building vegetable catapults instead of learning information that would now be eminently useful. When he is not failing terrifically to perform his sworn duties, he enjoys watching bad movies, ethnic food, and running.

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.

Jake is joined periodically by two wonderful guest bloggers: Kara Contreary and Kate Seip. See the About Page.

The Synapse #13 and Synapse Announcements

Category: The Synapse (a neuroscience carnival)
Posted on: December 11, 2006 10:28 AM, by Jake Young

The Synapse #13 is capably hosted at Neurocontrarian. Thanks Nick.

I have a Synapse-related announcement. The Neurophilosopher, host of the other neuroscience carnival Encephalon, and I have noticed a decline in the number of posts coming into the carnivals. We have agreed that it would make both carnivals better if they were consolidated into one.

Therefore, until further notice the Synapse is being suspended. The permanent page will remain up to archive the old issues. If you would like to submit to a neuroscience carnival, submit to Encephalon. Submissions can be made either through Blog Carnival or by emailing encephalon [dot] host {at} gmail [dot] com.
