Carnival pimping and Grand Rounds information

By tsmith on July 5, 2007.

Need some more reading? Check out the latest edition of Tangled Bank over at Aardvarchaeology, and the latest Skeptics' Circle over at The Skeptical Alchemist.

Meanwhile, as I mentioned previously, next week's Grand Rounds will be here at Aetiology. Send your submissions in to me by Sunday evening for maximum inclusion potential; I can't guarantee I'll have time to look over Monday stragglers.
