The science blogosphere must be getting big if it can support biology subspecialty carnivals: now you can read collections of posts about just bioinformatics or genetics. And here I thought a general science carnival might be too narrow to draw in a wide readership, way back in the dark ages!

The very first blog carnival was conceived right here, in Chapel Hill, some four-five years ago or so. Since then, the idea took off and there are now thousands of blog carnivals, some generalist, some regional, but most are topical with topics ranging from food to sports to politics. But,…

I keep getting asked: why should I participate in blog carnivals?
The Wikipedia page about blog carnivals is not really accurate (it includes things that are not carnivals), and also suffers from overzealous, obsessive-compulsive, self-important administrators (who have probably never seen a…
You're the inspiration.... la la la la ;)
Thanks for the link :). I think these carnivals are a good for smaller communities to get together once in a while to showcase some of their work.
Thats the great thing about bioinformatics. Not only are we biology geeks, we're also computer geeks! It's a bitch when someone asks you to explain what your job is though.
Thanks for the link PZ. Bio::Blogs is a new venture and we're looking for publicity, so some of us may be pimping for links around here in the near-future.

Isn't it just. "Umm...computer...biology...stuff". I usually just go with scientist.
