Ouroboros' second anniversary is coming up this weekend, and I thought it might be nice to do something special to commemorate the occasion.
There's enough good science blogging about the biology of aging that the community deserves its own monthly carnival (along the lines of the general-biology carnival Tangled Bank, or the neuroscience carnival Encephalon, both of which we've hosted here before). So let's start one. I thought long and hard about names and settled on "Hourglass," which is topical enough to be appropriate, but general to be inclusive.
I'll host the first…

pharyngula | July 1, 2008Are you an elitist bastard? I know I am! If you're like me, then, you'll appreciate a whole collection of unabashedly elitist, thoroughly bastardly sneers and tirades in the Carnival of the Elitist Bastards #2. Revel in it, you smug scoundrels.
And hey, I'm helming this carnival at the end of July, so send me your broadsides. If they meet my arrogantly high standards, they might make it into the next edition. All I ask is that you take your inspiration from Lord Flashheart, and do it with a bang.
If you're really, really good, you might also volunteer to run one yourself. They've got a lot…

pharyngula | June 30, 2008I have been very, very bad. I have been neglecting my obligations as a member of the blogosphere to share links to interesting stuff, all because I've been busy with travel and work. I missed the Carnival of the Liberals, the Accretionary Wedge, I and the Bird, the Carnival of Space, and even the Carnival of the Godless. I am wicked, the worthless scum of the earth, a footling twallop who deserves your scorn and needs to be demoted.
But I'm trying to catch up! I promise I'll do better!
I also overlooked Revere's Sunday Sermonette, which I usually catch: the latest is a tribute to George…

neurophilosophy | June 23, 2008At the Neuroanthropology blog, Daniel rounds up the usual suspects of neuroscience and psychology bloggers for the 48th edition of Encephalon.
This time, the carnival includes entries on everything from visual illusions and the neurobiology of language evolution, to the ethnography of Second Life and a new study which purports to show that mirror neurons control erections.

clock | June 16, 2008In the wake of great success of the Classic Science Papers Challenge, gg of Skulls in the Stars and I have decided to turn this into a regular monthly blog carnival.
Thus, gg has set up a carnival homepage and issued the call for posts and hosts.
You can read more about the carnival - named "The Giants' Shoulders" - on the About page. In brief, once a month, the carnival will alight on one of the participating blogs. What kinds of blog posts are eligible?
Classic Papers - your blog post should describe what is in a paper that is considered to be a classical paper, or explanation why you…
