-- Sir Francis Bacon.

Scientia Pro Publica (Science for the People) blog carnival was just published! This blog carnival celebrates the best science, nature and medical writing published in the blogosphere within the past 60 days. So go read Scientia Pro Publica #4 -- In Memory of Stephen Jay Gould Edition and leave a comment there!





To send your science, nature or medical writing to Scientia Pro Publica, either use this automated submission form or use the cute little widget on the right (sometimes that widget doesn't upload when the mother site is sick). Be sure to include the URL or "permalink", the essay title and, to make life easier for the host, please include a 2-3 sentence summary.

The host for the 1 June edition is Kris, author of Pro Science. If you are interested in hosting this carnival on your blog, please contact me as soon as possible or notify the current host (please note that I prefer hosts who have had their writing included in one or more editions of this carnival). Scientia Pro Publica is published on the first and third Monday of each month, so feel free to choose a particular date, or I'll assign you the first available date.

To send your recently published (within the previous 60 days) non-spammy, non-woo, non-advertizing writings for potential inclusion in the next edition of Scientia Pro Publica, either use this automated submission form or use this handy-dandy little widget on the right (hopefully, it's still there -- it sometimes disappears when the mother site is feeling sick). Be sure to include the URL or "permalink", the title and a brief summary.
