voltagegate | May 14, 2007Oekologie #5 will be published here tomorrow late morning early afternoon. If you've written anything about ecology and/or environmental science (I stress the science bit; politics to a minimum here) please send in your submissions via e-mail: thevoltagegate [at] gmail.com.
The theme will be ancient zoological and botanical writings, just to let you know. Don't worry about theming the posts, I'll take care of the "framing."
clock | May 12, 2007The first and the second editions of the new Learning in the Great Outdoors carnival are already up on Alone On A Limb. It's time to set up the homepage with archives, instructions for submissions and hosting, etc.
voltagegate | May 12, 2007The second edition of Learning in the Great Outdoors, a new blog carnival about environmental education, is up at Alone on a Limb. For number two, Terrell takes us on a nature walk through school, even giving Oekologie a shout out. Thanks, all.
Have you written anything about environmental education lately? Have any plans to? Submit a post using the Blog Carnival form.

pharyngula | May 11, 2007Here's a slew of good stuff to entertain you on a pleasant Friday, the last day of finals week here at UMM. I have to give my genetics students their final exam in a short while—I fear they are not having a happy time right now. When they're done, though, the sun will be shining, commencement awaits tomorrow … and I will be sitting in gloomy room somewhere, red pen in hand, grading.

voltagegate | May 8, 2007Send me your best ecology and environmental science posts from the past month and I'll compile 'em in the first themed edition of Oekologie. I've been reading about the early botanical and zoological writings of ancient civilizations lately, particularly Arabic and Greek, and I thought it would provide a nice frame for the carnival (I've done the history bit before in Tangled Bank #71 with the Enlightenment).
So, early ecological writings is the word for Oekologie #5. Now I just need a bunch more submissions...
EDIT: I should mention that I'm looking for just ordinary ecology/env sci posts…

pharyngula | May 6, 2007The latest Gene Genie #6 is rich in genetical goodness, but the rap video about Mendel? That's pure wickedness. I almost regret that my genetics lectures are over for this term, so I can't inflict it on my students.
clock | May 6, 2007Three out of ten Republican presidential candidates raised hands in the recent debate indicating they do not believe in evolution. Jason has an excellent round-up of responses (Arianna Huffington rocks!) with some good comments by readers as well. How can you help combat scientific ignorance? If your blog is NOT a science blog, try to do what Mike suggests and link to five science-related posts every week.
There is plenty of stuff here at scienceblogs.com, but you can also use this page when you are looking for science posts, especially the science-related carnivals listed at the very…
clock | May 6, 2007Gene Genie, the carnival of human genetics, now has a homepage and the Sixth issue is now up on ScienceRoll
pharyngula | May 4, 2007Hey, not many carnival announcements this week. You know, if you've got a carnival that is in some way related to science, biology, godlessness, academia — my usual obsessions — feel free to send me notices and I'll mention them in my weekly carnival roundup.

I and the Bird #48
Next week's Tangled Bank will be at Epigenetics News. send your science links in to me or host@tangledbank.net before 9 May.
This is an open thread. Go to it!
clock | May 3, 2007Next Carnival of the Liberals will not be held here as previously announced. I will host on the 23rd of May instead. Next week the carnival will be hosted by That Is So Queer... instead.
pharyngula | May 3, 2007I tried to help out the "Darwin is Dead" carnival by promoting it, but to no avail—one of the most patently absurd anti-evolution efforts has apparently met its demise. I'm not sure how anyone could tell, though—it was pretty much brain-dead on arrival.
