clock | August 15, 2008Welcome to the first experimental issue of the newest science blog carnival - Praxis. Why experimental? Because we still have to see where to set the boundaries. If it is "Life in Academia", then pretty much everything on science blogs is eligible and the effect is diluted. If we narrow it down to one topic, e.g., Open Access publishing, then there will not be sufficient posts and sufficient interest to keep the carnival alive. We'll have to define a happy middle.

You can't go against natureBecause when you doGo against natureIt's part of nature too.
In the umbra, the tunnel, when the mind went wombtomb, then it was real thought and real living, living thought.
Everything is spoilt by use:Where's the cheek that doth not fade,Too much gazed at? Where's the maidWhose lip mature is ever new?Where's the eye, however, blue,Doth not weary? Where's the faceOne would meet in every…

purepedantry | August 5, 2008It has been a rough month here at Pure Pedantry.
At one point last week, I think I trained rats for 8 straight hours. (My job in the lab is training rats.) And let me just tell you, that is not particularly interesting. Visualize getting a repetitive stress injury moving around an pissed off animal with a limited attention span but to whom your entire future is chained. Anyway, in order to entertain myself, I have been playing every episode of South Park in order in the background. (Yes, I know...very, very sad.) Sufficeth to say, this has resulted in me having South Park on the brain…
