The Synapse #13 and Synapse Announcements

The Synapse #13 is capably hosted at Neurocontrarian. Thanks Nick.

I have a Synapse-related announcement. The Neurophilosopher, host of the other neuroscience carnival Encephalon, and I have noticed a decline in the number of posts coming into the carnivals. We have agreed that it would make both carnivals better if they were consolidated into one.

Therefore, until further notice the Synapse is being suspended. The permanent page will remain up to archive the old issues. If you would like to submit to a neuroscience carnival, submit to Encephalon. Submissions can be made either through Blog Carnival or by emailing encephalon [dot] host {at} gmail [dot] com.

I'm not, but I wonder if anyone here is old enough to remember. In a place I recently lived I found an old invitation, and it states:

Cocktail Hour 7:30-8:30
Dinner 8:30-9:30

Just thought that those who truly enjoy Synapse might find the discovery of this old thing a minor amusement.
