Tangled Bank
The oldest scientific carnival - Tangled Bank - is up at Fish Feet. Much more than molecular evolution or anthropology is here - it runs the gamut from science in general through ecology, agriculture, and genetics.
Check it out.
Language Liberalism Freethought Birds
Verbing Weirds Language only if you're expecting it to work in a simple way. This is a special case of the more general truth that Language Weirds.
Only when a republic's life is in danger should a man uphold his government when it is in the wrong. There is no other time.
The church says Earth is flat; but I have seen its shadow on the moon, and I have more confidence in a shadow than the church.
If we can't find Heaven, there are always bluejays.

I used to teach Russian and Ukrainian, and some basic English, to civil servants. Now I teach Russian at a local continued-learning institute. I dabble in Gaelic and Welsh. I'm am amateur photographer and I love birding (in a small way). I'm a Progressive, and a Freethinker, and I know Evolution is a fact - that's FCD, Friend of Charles Darwin (look down the sidebar). I read a lot, and follow women's college basketball. Also I love astronomy, though I'm a rank amateur at it. Most of all, I like living in the reality-based community...

You cannot leave. You cannot drop the armor now. Why? Because you are needed, more than ever. You are mandatory to keep the energy flowing, the karmic vibrator buzzing, to keep the progressive and lucid half of the nation breathing and healthy and awake and ever reaching out to the half that's wallowing in fear and violence and homophobia and sexual dread, hoping to find harmony instead of cacophony, common ground instead of civil war, some sort of a shared love of a country so messy and internationally disrespected and openly confused its own president can't even speak the language.
After all, you don't hand over all your children the first time the flying monkeys bang on your door...
It's far from over. The tunnel is just a little darker -- and longer -- than we imagined.

But not computer science: they've rejected (more accurately, ignored) any submissions I've given them. Maybe they don't consider that to be "science"; I have to admit that I'm often not so sure myself.
Well, they do say "The subject should be on biology, medicine, or natural history" on their home page...
You could try the Carnival of Mathematics ...
Right, they say that, but when they plump for submissions they usually say, as you do "Science in general."
I don't really think Mathematics is the right place either. And I see that someone had tried to start one for computer science quite some time ago and it seems not to've taken off.
Doesn't really matter. I don't need to have that stuff in a carnival. I just thought it interesting that "computer science" doesn't seem to qualify as "science", is all.
