clock | August 4, 2008The new blog carnival, covering the way science is changing (or not changing enough) in the 21st century - Praxis, is about to start. The call for submissions is now open - send them to me at Coturnix AT gmail dot com by August 14th at midnight Eastern.
The business of science - from getting into grad school, succeeding in it, getting a postdoc, getting a job, getting funded, getting published, getting tenure and surviving it all with some semblance of sanity - those are kinds of topics that are appropriate for this carnival, more in analytic way than personal, if possible (i.e., not "I will…

clock | July 28, 2008Martin saw this comment of mine and sprung into action: Name the new 'Carnival of Scientific Life'!
The two big questions are what to call it, and how often to host it, so I'd like your input in the comments below please. I'll be making the final decision on August 1st.
What would be a good name for the carnival? (Ideally something without "carnival" in the title.)
Should it be held monthly, or at some other frequency?
The carnival is intended to cover all aspects of life as a scientist, whether it's the lifestyle, career progress, doing a Ph.D., getting funding, climbing the slippery pole,…
purepedantry | July 28, 2008Just a heads up. Next week on August 5th (Tuesday) I will be hosting the illustrious medicine carnival Grand Rounds. (Has it been a year and a half since I did this last? Jeez I have been doing this forever...)
Anyway, here is how you submit. Send an email with your name, your blog, the url to the post, and a sentence description of it to jamesjyoung **at** gmail. The submission deadline is Monday August 4th at 6 pm as I will be writing the carnival that evening.
Haven't decided on a theme for this yet, so just give me your best. I am looking forward to reading all of your posts!
clock | July 27, 2008Welcome to the seventh edition of Berry Go Round, the carnival about all things botanical.
The previous edition was last month at Seeds Aside and the 8th issue will be at the end of August on Not Exactly Rocket Science.
The tradition for this carnival is to make it colorful (well, the plants are pretty), so I did what several other hosts of various carnivals did recently and used the LOLCat Builder to make it pretty and fun.
Since this makes the post very image-heavy and may slow down loading of the page for people with slower connections, I have placed them all under the fold.
To see from…
pharyngula | July 27, 2008This is supposed to be the Carnival of the Elitist Bastards, a celebration of excessive arrogance and bare-knuckle commentary, where smart-assed brutes with swords for tongues receive their rightful acknowledgment. I have received two dozen requests for inclusion in the rolls of the Elitist Bastards.
Alas, not one has met my standards. This is the empty carnival, with nothing to celebrate. At least it makes for short work on my part, leaving more time to bounce the Trophy Wench on my knee and guzzle down a few pints with gusto. Now go away. I've got better things to do.
But wait…
What would a…
clock | July 27, 2008The second edition of The Giant's Shoulders, carnival of history of science, will be hosted by The Lay Scientist on August 15th. Check out the first edition to see what it is all about, then submit your stuff. If you appeared in a previous edition, you need to write something new, but if this will be your first time, you can sneak in some of your best old stuff, I'm sure that will be OK...
clock | July 25, 2008I 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 carnival, never submitted a post to one, never hosted one, never started or managed one, ah well...).
I have written a lot about carnivals in the past (see especially this, this, this, this and this) so you should check those out for more "meaty" treatments, though some of the stuff in there is a little…
clock | July 25, 2008Next edition of Berry Go Round, the carnival about all things related to plants, will alight here at A Blog Around The Clock tomorrow (probably late afternoon), so please send your submissions tonight by midnight EDT to: Coturnix AT gmail DOT com
