Tangled bank #51 live

You can check it out over at Sandra's Discovering Biology, and take a virtual tour of Seattle while you're at it (which was pretty nice...I've only seen the airport there, personally). As always, lots of great stuff, including an excellent overview of Deinococcus radiodurans that would be perfect for next week's Animalcules, which will be hosted by Ruth over at the Biotech Weblog. Don't forget to send your entries for that to me or Ruth by next Wednesday.

(Edited to add: while you're carnival-hopping, be sure to check out the Carnival of education as well).

Check out an all-new Carnival of Education and Tangled bank (oooh, Star Wars theme!). Finally, don't forget about next week's Animalcules, to be hosted over at Discovering Biology in a Digital World. Send submissions to me or Sandra (sandy at geospiza dot com) next Wednesday, May 3rd.…
Just what the world needs, right? There are already carnivals for medical-type follk, general science folk, the godless, philosophers. There are already carnivals about birds, cats, dogs, general multicellular animals, invertebrates. But something is missing. Oh, yes. Those poor little…
Welcome to the introductory edition of Animalcules! Our first, and most pressing, issue is the name. As was pointed out in the comments here, there's already a monthly column in Microbe (formerly ASM News) called "Animalcules." But I still like the name, so I was thinking of incorporating…
Welcome to the new edition of Animalcules! First, a few housekeeping notes. If you note the schedule, I've not yet extended it beyond June 1st. I think that, at least for the summer months, Animalcules will be a once-monthly carnival, rather than every other week. If things pick up after that…

I'm flattered that you liked my post on D. radiodurans, but I must admit, Ewen already listed it in last week's Animalcules. He was the one who recommended I submit it to Tangled Bank as well. I'd originally thought the subject matter was a little too weird for the non-microbial public... but they apparently like weird stuff. :)
