Behavioral Ecology Blog

Ready for the next installment of the Tangled Bank, the longest running (??) blog carnival dedicated to all things science??

What is a blog carnival you say? Well, from the Tangled Bank website- it is:

A Carnival is a weekly showcase of good weblog writing, selected by the authors themselves (that’s the vanity part). Every other week, one of our crew will highlight a collection of interesting weblog articles in one convenient place, making it easy for everyone to find the good stuff.

or perhaps more general…

…blog carnivals are a great way for bloggers to recognize each other’s efforts, organize blog posts around important topics, and improve the overall level of conversation in the blogosphere. Carnivals come in edited “editions”, just like magazines or journals. The fact that carnivals are edited (and usually annotated) collections of links lets them serve as “magazines” within the blogosphere, and carnival hosts can earn their readership by providing high quality collections.

Since blog carnivals include lots of posts on specific topics, they also serve as a place to connect with those who are expert (or at least highly opinionated!) and those who are interested in that field.

No need to maintain a science blog- the only requirement is a post about science.. So whip out your, er, keyboards and get to typing.. There is a lot of really cool science out there..

As per Pharyngula rules, religious banter, creationist myth, VMartin, and J.A. Davison and the like are not tolerated….

When you’re ready to take the plunge- please send submissions to host@tangledbank.net, or preferably to me at macmanes (at) gmail (dot) com sometime before next Wednesday- June 6th.

See the TB website for additional submission guidelines, and geek counterpoint for the 80th edition
