OK, gang, I know we're on a shorter than normal interval here, but still — you haven't been submitting enough stuff for the Tangled Bank. Write a science post right now and send a link to me. You can do it.

In one short week (on February 1, 2006), there will be a new edition of the Tangled Bank, hosted here at Adventures in Ethics and Science. Tangled Bank is a blog carnival of the best science writing (broadly construed) in the blogosphere. In previous editions, topics have ranged across many…
I know, I know - there are still 3 days left of voting on the 3 Quark's Daily Science Blogging Prize. I shouldn't be sweating it yet. But c'mon - we're right on the cusp of the top 20 with A Marine Biologist's Story AND The End Of The Age Of Man! I'm biting my nails watching the numbers slowly…
I imagine after the last few weeks, the idea of storing food isn't seeming quite so crazy to a lot of folks in the country, but still, I hear all the time "I want to start building up a reserve but my husband/sister/mother in law thinks this is nuts." So I thought I would repost this piece, on…
I already have two articles for my issue of Tangled bank, which will be published on 15 March, but I need more! Tangled Bank is a Blog Carnival that is actively seeking submissions of your blogged essays, opinion pieces, poetry, and cartoons that present or discuss topics that affect the natural (…

I got some fascinating results reducing Ephedrine under high pressure and heat, as opposed to a long reflux over hydriodic acid and red phosphorous but I suspect my results would be ridiculed by BIG SCIENCE

Sorry PZ, you're SOL from me. Your cat knows more about science than I do. ;)

/me goes crashing wildly through Alton Brown and Cooks Illustrated books

Uh... can you give me a couple of hours? You like food, don'tcha?

So, there doesn't seem to be a lot going on in here. I'm hoping no one minds if I hijack this. There are likely more appropriate places for this, but the open threads aren't very current.

How do people generally feel about taking a spouse's surname upon marriage? I have a pretty good idea of what I want to do about that at this point, but I'd still like to hear more thoughts on it. In addition, and probably more importantly at this point (and relevant to hijacking a thread since info is hard to find...), how are the use of "pen names" in academia responded to? I have a rather peculiar idea for a surname merger, but the boyfriend has an abstract floating around with his name on it and sooner or later he'll be publishing under that name. And should I end up in academia I'd probably prefer to publish with my current name. *Do* people keep personal and professional names? Is it very difficult to maintain/are there any serious problems? Any other thoughts?

Sorry again for the hijacking. I'm not sure how else I can find out about this. A lot of you seem to have relevant experience.

Many thanks

Just how sciency does it have to be for these? Most of my posts are "scepticism for dummies" with bits of science in to explain it. Is that good enough?

how about a post on how animals (or plants, but seriously... plants?) have evolved strategies to deal with hurricanes.

Anyone have any leads? Would be grateful.

still going for gold.
