This week's science and medical blog carnivals A list of all the recent blog carnivals in the sciences and medicine that have been recently publishedDiamond Light Source Synchrotron, Oxfordshire, United Kingdom.Image: GrrlScientist, 2 September 2010 [Galacticize]In addition to showing you one of the photographs I snapped whilst visiting the Diamond Synchrotron this past summer, I wanted to provide a list of blog carnivals that have been recently published. Not too long ago, I shared some of my thoughts about about blog carnivals. In that essay, I told you that blog carnivals are online electronic magazines that are administered and published on a regular basis by blog writers themselves. I also mentioned that blog carnivals played a significant role in the evolution of blog communities. The hosting blogs are an interesting combination of new writers who are seeking to establish themselves in particular topic areas, and long-time writers who remain active members of the blog carnival scene. Below the fold, I've linked to all of the recent blog carnivals that have been published in the sciences and medicine so you can explore those that might interest you. There's quite a few listed that focus on a wide variety of topics, so there should be something here for everyone.
