Blog Carnivals
neurotopia | January 19, 2007Welcome to the latest edition of Mendel's Garden (in late bloom). To kick off, we have a number of posts relating to parthenogenesis in Komodo dragons. Evolgen, Discovering Biology in a Digital World, and and PZ give us the miracle of virgin births!
Phil B. presents How to Divide by Zero posted at Phil for Humanity. In another post, Phil brings up Global Warming, with the warning "Either our world leaders are going to recognize global warming as a real threat to humanity and address it properly, or the entire human population may become extinct." Read about it atGlobal Warming: Mankind'…
scientificactivist | January 17, 2007The 71st edition of the science blog carnival Tangled Bank is up at The Voltage Gate. Go have a look around for a taste of recent science blogging from around the web. Remember, if you want to read some of the best science blogging from the past year, though, don't forget to check out the book.
evolgen | January 17, 2007Two science blogging carnivals have been posted in the past few days. The first edition of Oekologie (ecology and environmental science) is up at The Infinite Sphere, and Aardvarchaeology has the newest Four Stone Hearth (anthropology). Also, Evil Monkey is scheduled to post a fresh edition of Mendel's Garden any minute now -- or two days ago. Anyway, keep your eyes peeled for that one too.
tsmith | January 17, 2007The January edition of Animalcules will be hosted here again next Thursday, January 18th. Send your entries to me: aetiology AT gmail DOT com. I'm still looking for hosts for future editions as well, so drop me a line if you'd like to help out there.
[Additionally, check out the latest Tangled Bank, with a history of science theme...]

neurotopia | January 2, 2007Check out the blog carnival Mendel's Garden and then send me your submissions. Due to the holiday, we're going to try and set up the carnival for later in the week when everybody is done traveling and back to their routine. I'm going to shoot for the morning of Friday the 5th to get everybody time to send their submissions my way.

tsmith | December 21, 2006Set up as a tribute to the late Carl Sagan, the latest Skeptics' Circle is up at Humbug Online.
tsmith | December 21, 2006Ho ho ho, and welcome to the early Christmas edition of Animalcules. Sit back, grab some hot cocoa, and click below to open your Christmas gift of some of the most interesting microbiology-themed blog posts over the past month.
To start us off with, in a new blog to me (the Cornell Mushroom blog), we learn how a fungus assists in the transmission of a nematode from the environment to the host--in this case, cattle. It's a fascinating example of commensalism.
From the same blog comes another post on Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (or Bd), a fungus which is a cause of skin infections in…
tsmith | December 20, 2006The latest Tangled Bank is up over at Salto Sobrius, a new Encephalon can be found hosted by Evil Monkey at Neurotopia, and the latest Feminist's Carnival can be found over at the imponderabilia of actual life. And while you're blog carnival-ing, don't forget to send along entries for tomorrow's Animalcules (aetiology at gmail dot com).
neurotopia | December 20, 2006Welcome to Encephalon # 13!!!! Unlucky though it may be, we're up and running (and better late than never). I have to apologize to Encephalon readers, I've been trying to deal with my position being on the chopping block out of the blue. Yes, Virginia, the government doesn't offer job security either.
The next edition will be on 15th January at Mixing Memory, and not on New Year's Day as previously scheduled.
So let's get down to bidness!
We'll kick off with a post on FAK and Control of Axon Guidance, where Migrations comments on a relatively recent paper in Nature Neuroscience by Robles…
tsmith | December 19, 2006...okay, dog. A certain beagle and his friends are featured in this week's Grand Rounds, hosted over at Nurse Ratched's Place. And, while you're in a Christmas blog carnival mood, don't forget to drop me a post for this month's belated edition of Animalcules--send them to aetiology at gmail dot com by tomorrow night for inclusion. They've been trickling in, but I'm hoping for a few more...
tsmith | December 13, 2006I know some of you out there have written some microbiology-related posts, so be sure to send them along to me (aetiology AT gmail DOT com) tonight for inclusion in tomorrow's edition of Animalcules.
[Update: I've only received a few entries, so I'm going to try this next week for a Christmas edition...]
tsmith | December 12, 2006It's that time again. The December edition of Animalcules will go live this coming Thursday, here at Aetiology. Send your entires to me: aetiology at gmail.com by Wednesday evening. Also be sure to check out today's Grand Rounds over at Anxiety, Addiction, and Depression Treatments.
tsmith | December 7, 2006Aka, the 49th Skeptics' Circle, and it's a serious piece of work. Even if you don't normally hit the carnival links, you really oughta check this one out--I don't even want to think about how much time was put into this one.
evolgen | December 7, 2006Circus of the Spineless #15 has been posted at Words & Pictures. Go check out the best invertebrate (cough, paraphyletic taxon, cough) blogging from the past month or so.
evolgen | December 4, 2006
The ninth edition of Mendel's Garden has been posted by the collective of Oregon State grad students known as Salamander Candy. Go read the month's best genetics blogging.
evolgen | November 22, 2006
The sixty seventh edition of the Tangled Bank has been posted at Newton's Binomium. It's a Thanksgiving edition, so go give thanks for some good science blogging.
neurotopia | November 19, 2006Temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) refers to a condition where recurrent seizures arise in the temporal lobe of the brain. This condition is seen in humans and animals. Often, TLE arises following a neural insult such as head trauma or tumor, but can also be triggered by infection. These febrile seizures are often seen in children under the age of five, and subsequent scans can show atrophy of temporal lobe structures such as the hippocampus. The hippocampus is highly interconnected with other temporal lobe structures, so a seizure that originates from or propagates through the hippocampus is…
tsmith | November 19, 2006Welcome to the newest edition of Pediatric Grand Rounds. Grab a chair, get comfortable, and take a gander at the latest blogging in the field of pediatrics.
The dish in the blogosphere
First, the hottest topic of the week (at least, from the collection of posts submitted here): environmental chemical and how they affect children. Clark of Unintelligent Design discusses the "dangers" (or not?) of environmental chemcials--including natural chemicals from our food, etc.-- for childrens' development. Over at Disease Proof, however, you'll find some disagreement. Revere at Effect Measure…
