The new blog carnival, covering the way science is changing (or not changing enough) in the 21st century - Praxis, is about to start. The call for submissions is now open - send them to me at Coturnix AT gmail dot com by August 14th at midnight Eastern.
The business of science - from getting into grad school, succeeding in it, getting a postdoc, getting a job, getting funded, getting published, getting tenure and surviving it all with some semblance of sanity - those are kinds of topics that are appropriate for this carnival, more in analytic way than personal, if possible (i.e., not "I will cry as my minipreps did not work today", but more "let me explain the reasons why I chose to work with advisor X instead of Y" or "how to give a good talk", or "why publish OA" or "how does an NIH section work?") and perhaps most importantly how the new technology - mainly the Internet - is changing the world of science.
