I've already received quite a few submissions for the big Carnival of Evolution. Alas, I have also received a few submissions which, while good, were outside the parameters of what I had in mind. So let me offer two clarifications:
- I'm looking specifically for writing first posted on blogs. One of the main purposes of the Carnival is to provide publicity for good writing at undeservedly obscure blogs.
- I'm looking for recent writing, say, within the last two months.
Sorry if these points weren't clear with the initial announcement. I appreciate all the submissions. Keep 'em coming!

I'm giving up reading blogs for Lent.
The proximate cause of this is Bora's latest blame-the-media post, which is just deja vu all over again, because I'm pretty sure this exact conversation has gone on ten times before (the fact that scientists find other scientists compelling speakers does not…
In the past few days, one of the best libloggers called it quits: She explicitly said there won't be any more posts on that blog.
By itself, while it's noteworthy, I probably wouldn't post about it. The writer isn't going away, the archives aren't going away, and the circumstances may be unusual.…
Last Friday afternoon my mother and step-mother came to visit. My mother had surgery on her foot back in the summer and has had a long, slow recovery, and is only now able to travel and drive, so this was the first visit in nearly six months. As we sat around the table, we joked that it would be…
Dear Jason,
This is off topic-- but I am starting to sketch out ideas for a 200th Darwin birthday poster -- and wonder if you have some suggestions on themes we should illustrate.
I like the idea of art challenging people to think about Darwin and his contribution to our thinking -- we can illustrate about twenty species in addition to a picture of Darwin.
So for the illustration- what are the top 5 things about Darwin you'd like people to know about?
Thanks.
