pharyngula | November 9, 2007I'm on an airplane on my way to Washington DC, for an event sponsored by Americans United for Separation of Church and State. It should be good — I've heard that Blue Gal, D-Cup, Phil Plait, and some of the gang from Corrente will be there…and we'll find out who else. I'll report back later!

denialism | November 8, 2007Holford Watch has a form letter for us to fill out for this week's version of the circle.

clock | November 6, 2007There's a new carnival in town! Christopher Taylor of Catalogue of Organisms has just started Linnaeus' Legacy, a monthly blog carnival dedicated to biological diversity, taxonomy and systematics.
The first edition is now published and the size and quality of posts gives me optimism that this carnival is off to a roaring start and will have a long healthy life.
Contact Chris if you want to host a future edition and don't forget to submit your entries for the December issue.
neurophilosophy | November 5, 2007Primate Diarist Eric has just posted the 35th edition of Encephalon, the neuroscience and psychology blog carnival.
My favourite posts this time round are the Neurocritic's examination of the purported discovery of the "neural basis for optimism", and Jake's description of two-photon fluorescence microscopy for in vivo imaging of neuronal activity. (There's no link to this latter post - Eric has linked twice to Jake's other submission, but this should be fixed soon.)
The next edition of Encephalon will be hosted by Noam at Brain in a Vat on November 19th. If you'd like to contribute, email…
