Carnivals, carnivals!

By tsmith on February 15, 2006.

D'oh, I forgot about Tangled Bank again (has it been two weeks already?) Time flies, as the theme to TB this week emphasizes. Check out some of the best science writing in the blogosphere, and note that I'm hosting it here in two weesk. Submissions can be sent to aetiology AT gmail DOT com--please put "Tangled bank" in the subject line so I don't overlook it.

While I'm on the subject of carnival submissions, let me also remind you about the second edition of Animalcules, going live on February 23rd. Send submissions to me at the address above.

Over at Science and Politics, you'll also find the new edition of the Teaching Carnival, including a whole section on teaching science.

Lots of great stuff--I need more free time to read it all!

As several others have already noted, after almost 12 years, Scienceblogs is shutting down at month's end. Though I've done most of my writing elsewhere over the last few years, I'd certainly like to keep the archives of this blog up somewhere, and maintain it as a place to post random musings that…

The high cost of academic reimbursement

September 29, 2017

Spring, 2004. I was in the second year of my post-doc, with kids ages 4 and 2. Because I was no longer a student, the full brunt of my student loan payments had hit me, which were collectively almost double the cost of my mortgage. To put it generously, money was tight. Truthfully, we were broke as…

A claim that scientists need to quit making: I've written about these types of claims before. The first one--a claim that antimicrobial peptides were essentially "resistance proof," was proven to be embarrassingly wrong in a laboratory test. Resistance not only evolved, but it evolved…
