Okay my peeps, due to my own inept planning abilities, it seems I am helping to rejuvenate one blog carnival (Circus of the Spineless) while I am also launching another carnival, Scientia, on precisely the same day. Was this really dumb of me? Of course it was. However, I am going to make this happen for you because I said I would. So I need your help! So if you have written a "translation" of a scientific paper, or an essay, a photoessay or if you have a stunning image of a squishy (or crusty) living entity that lacks a backbone -- not including American politicians -- to share with the world, please send the submission to me. Also feel free to upload this colorful new badge as you spread the word about this upcoming carnival on your own blogs.
