Carnival of the Godless #45

You know the drill.
pharyngula | July 21, 2006Some light reading, and otherwise…speak your mind in the comments.
Friday Ark #96
I and the Bird #28
Skeptics' Circle #39
pharyngula | July 9, 2006Today, we have a little something for the neuroscientists, and something for the atheists. Godless neuroscientists are especially fortunate.
The Synapse 1(2)
Carnival of the Godless #44
Carnival of Socialism #6
pharyngula | June 30, 2006We have a couple of carnivals up right now…
Modulator's Friday Ark
Circus of the Spineless #10
Carnival of Education #73
…and a few that are looking for submissions.
Carnival of the Liberals #16 will be at the Uncredible Hallq next Wednesday.
Also on Wednesday, e3 Information Overload will be hosting the Tangled Bank. It's time to send in those science links!
So…feel free to say what's on your mind in the comments.
pharyngula | June 25, 2006Quick! A few more carnivals to flog today…
The Synapse #1, a new neuroscience carnival.
Carnival of the Godless #43
pharyngula | June 23, 2006I've been very, very bad at keeping up with all the carnivals, so here's a quick roundup.
Carnival of the Liberals #15
I and the Bird #26
Carnival of Education #72
Skeptics' Circle #37
Carnival of Feminists #17
Circus of the Spineless seeks submissions!
As usual, talk about whatever you want in the comments (at last, a place where the Coulter defenders can be evasive with permission!)
pharyngula | May 25, 2006Read and discuss:
I and the Bird #24 (illustrated!)
Skeptics' Circle #35 (hosted by a pseudo-Skeptico…or is it a pseudo-pseudo-Skeptico?)
Carnival of the Liberals #13
Or talk about anything you want. The pope's presence annihilates ice cream and tampons. Bill Frist really needs to take a shower before working in the Senate. What kind of penalties would be appropriate for Kenny Boy? I'm sure you can all think of something to talk about—I'm buckling down for a few hours to finish reviewing a paper.
pharyngula | May 18, 2006We have a few carnivals up today:
Animalcules 1.8
Carnival of Education #67
Note also that the Tangled Bank will be appearing at Science and Politics next Wednesday. It's time to start sending in links to Coturnix, me, or host@tangledbank.net.
pharyngula | May 11, 2006Flitting about as I have lately means I've been missing this, that and the other thing. So here's a quick summary.
Tuesday night I was at the Café Scientifique in Minneapolis, where UMM's Timna Wyckoff gave a talk on antibiotic resistance. It was terrific! Lots of good questions throughout, and a mob of conversation afterwards. This is exactly how these events are supposed to go.
I missed Michael Ruse's talk at the UM on Wednesday—I was somewhere in Wisconsin, with a dorm room packed into a car—but I have one email report that he was entertaining but extremely aggravating. Anyone else care…
pharyngula | May 4, 2006
Another Tangled Bank is coming up next week at Science Notes. Send those links to science-related blog posts to Mona Albano, me, or host@tangledbank.net by Tuesday!
In the meantime, while you're waiting for the Tangled Bank, you can read these other fine carnivals.
Animalcules 1.7
Carnival of Education
This is an open thread. Chatter away!
pharyngula | April 27, 2006This week's collection of carnivals:

Otherwise, you got your open thread right here.
pharyngula | April 20, 2006A few carnival announcements:
Carnival of the Animalcules
Carnival of Feminists

The next Tangled Bank will be held next Wednesday at The Inoculated Mind (yes, it's back up!). Send your submissions to karl AT inoculatedmind DOT com with "Tangled Bank Submission" in the subject line, or send it to me or host@tangledbank.net.
As always, carnival barking threads are also open threads—talk about what you will.
pharyngula | March 30, 2006Here are a few recent carnivals to peruse…
31st Skeptics' Circle

Skeptics' Circle
I and the Bird
Carnival of the Liberals
pharyngula | February 28, 2006While I am intensely distracted—I'm freaking out a little bit over this Cafe Scientifique presentation I have to do in a couple of hours, and since I'm also the organizer I've also got to set up all the AV gear in a new venue and miscellaneous other mundane tasks—I'll let everyone talk among themselves for a while.
(My problem with this talk right now is that I put together all kinds of stuff and had 130 slides to show…I've had to be ruthless and rip at it savagely, since I really want this to be an easy going 30-40 minute presentation. But there's so much I could say!)
Hey, an important…
pharyngula | February 19, 2006While we're threading openly, I'll also bring to your attention these fine collections of interesting bloggery:
I and the Bird
Skeptics' Circle
Carnival of the Godless
Oooh, look! I also made some tweaks to the CSS, in an effort to distinguish myself from all those other scienceblogs out there.
pharyngula | February 4, 2006If these don't keep you entertained, feel free to talk about anything else.

I'm doing some traveling and touristy things with grrlscientist today, on top of somehow coping with the first week of classes (physiology and our freshman seminar in biological principles), and attending Drinking Liberally at the 331 Club tonight. I also have to get tickets to the Prairie Home Companion show that will be taped here at UMM on 11 February…it all adds up to me being a little scattered and distracted and otherwise occupied for much of today. You all are just going to have to fend for yourselves for a bit.
Here is a short list of things I should write about, but won't…
