Scientiae

Hi All!

Just a reminder to get your posts in for the August Scientiae! The deadline is 11:59 pm GMT on Friday, July 30th.

The original call for posts can be found here.

Hi everyone! I'm Alyssa, over at Apple Pie and the Universe (formally Mrs. Comet Hunter) and I'll be hosting the August Scientiae. I'm really excited to put one together this year, and I hope that the topic will be fun for everyone!

Summer is a great time to look back on the past year and reflect - or to look forward to the goals for the next year. Last May's carnival, hosted by Endless Possibilities v2.0, had us put together a time capsule of what was going on in our lives during the spring of 2009.

Well, here's a good chance to look back - and forward! If you took part in the May 2009 Scientiae, have a look at your time capsule. What have you accomplished in that time? Are you where you thought you would be over a year ago? If you didn't take part, can you remember what your goals were for the 2009/2010 year? How far have you come since then?

Now the fun part - what is going on in your life right now? What will be happening in six months or a year from now? What are your goals? Are you looking forward to the next year, or dreading it?

Feel free to interpret this in whatever way you'd like - you could do a bullet list of everything, or a snap shot of the more important things going on, or share an anecdote that will allow you to remember the summer of 2010.

Of course, posts on any topic related to women in science will also be accepted! Please submit your post by emailing the permalink URL of your post to scientiaecarnival [a] gmail [dt] com by 11:59 pm GMT on Friday, July 30th. The carnival will be posted on August 1st.
