carnivals
clock | September 15, 2006Teaching Carnival #12 is up on Scrivenings.
Next time, on October 1st, the carnival will be hosted by me here. I will be posting an official 'call for submissions' in a few days, but in the meantime, if you write a post that has something to do with Academia and Higher Ed, please try to remember to tag it with the "teaching-carnival" tag. Still, since the tagging technology is unreliable at best, you can only be guaranteed the inclusion of your entries (and yes, multiple entries are welcome) if you e-mail them to me at: Coturnix@gmail.com. Put "Teaching Carnival" in the title and inquire…
pharyngula | September 15, 2006We just had one of these!
Mendel's Garden #6
Friday Ark #104
Well, just to flesh it out a little more with some random links, here are some photos. I was told the second one made someone think of me (warning: body modification!). And, jebus help me, for some reason I thought this photo was very sexy. Or appetizing. I don't know, something in the midbrain flickered.
Oh, and several of us sciencebloggers were interviewed for an article by Eva Amsen on "Who benefits from science blogging?" It doesn't mention the benefit of people sending you pictures that tickle the cingulate.
clock | September 15, 2006Mendel's Garden #6 is up on The Voltage Gate.
History Carnival #39 is up on Cliopatria
pharyngula | September 14, 2006Now the physicists are putting together carnivals: it's Philosophia Naturalis #1. Hey, aren't these carnivals kind of like…stamp collecting?
pharyngula | September 14, 2006A few carnivals have popped up:
Carnival of Education #84
Skeptics' Circle #43
I & the Bird #32
Carnival of the Liberals #21
Also, Mendel's Garden #6 is looking for submissions — it will be hosted at The Voltage Gate tomorrow!
clock | September 14, 2006There is a second physics carnival being launched!
The first one is monthly Panta Rei (the 3rd edition will be on September 28rd), focusing on heat and flow.
The new one is called Philosophia Naturalis, with a broader theme of everything to deal with physical science and technology, and the inaugural edition is now up on Science And Reason.
The two carnivals appear to have very different concepts so it does not look like they will compete against each other.
clock | September 14, 2006Skeptics' Circle #43 - the Sad Puppy Edition - is up on Adventures in Ethics and Science.
Carnival of the Liberals #21 is up on Archy.
pharyngula | September 13, 2006
The newest edition of the Tangled Bank, Tangled Bank #62—Travel Bingo edition, is now up at the Hairy Museum of Natural History. The editor went all out for this one and made custom icons for each entry: don't you wish you'd submitted something now?

retrospectacle | September 11, 2006Welcome to the sixth edition of the neuroscience carnival, Encephelon!
From the Neurophilosopher's Blog comes a fascinating video lecture by Dr. Martin Sereno, a cognitive scientist at UCSD, on why humans possess so much more cognitive power than other animals despite the close similarities in neuroarchitechture. The Neurophilosopher also reports on imaging studies which reveal the "God Spot" (or lack thereof), supposedly the neural center for religious experience. Thinking Meat also ponders this study, and wonders how atheists' "mystical" experiences might differ from those of religious…
clock | September 9, 2006Billy the Blogging Poet opened up the Tar Heel Tavern and we all had lots of beer and it was great fun! Go and read his account of the evening.
