December Scientiae: Call For Posts
3 comments Published by Alyssa on Friday, November 4, 2011 at 7:00 AMSometimes we lose track of why we got into science. But, at some point, I'm sure we all had grandiose dreams of all the things we were going to accomplish as scientists. Sure, those goals may have changed as we evolved from naive and idealistic undergraduate students to where we are now, but surely there's some big idea that's pushing us, even in the distant background.
So, what is your ultimate career goal? Do you want to win the Nobel Prize? Cure cancer? Build a better mouse trap? What is it that you want to be remembered for career-wise?
Feel free to submit variations on the theme or anything else you find appropriate. Please e-mail a permalink to your submission to scientiaecarnival [at] gmail [dt] com by 5pm Eastern Time on December 15th, so the carnival can be posted in time for the holidays!

Dear All,
I'll be hosting the September Scientiae Carnival over at My Middle Years. The theme for this month is:
It has been a busy year for everyone and, until we figure out how to be in more than one place at once, there will always be a place where we can't be. We even decided to move Scientiae to a quarterly timetable so we don't stress about all the carnival posts we do not have time to write. So where have you been? Where do you wish you were? Where are you not?
Feel free to submit variations on the theme or anything else you find appropriate. Please e-mail a permalink to your submission to scientiaecarnival [at] gmail [dt] com by midnight on September 25th. The carnival should be posted by September 30th.
-Patchi

LAST CALL FOR MARCH CARNIVAL
0 comments Published by Scientiae webspinner on Friday, March 18, 2011 at 8:01 AMHello everyone,
A last call for posts on the theme of 'Change is the only constant' (or any other topic) for the Scientiae carnival in March - send them in by Monday 20th March to scientiaecarnival@gmail.com!

I'd like to encourage lots and lots of posts, so I'm going for a pretty general topic. A truism widely used in one of the fields my research area touches on (way to be vague?) is:
Change is the only constant
and I would like to invite posts on that theme. You might write about changes in your discipline (or in a discipline you like reading about!) since you first began studying it, or about changes in yourself since you began studying science/got your current job/since some arbitrary and personal date. What about changes in the experiences of women in science and as scientists? For example, I'm in my early 40s - and I really wish I'd ignored the advice at school and as an undergrad to not learn to touch-type. Women were told NOT to learn to type because 'you'll end up being treated like a secretary and expected to type up everyone's papers' - nowadays with word processors all academics pretty much do their own typing, and I would love to be able to type correctly (but have been typing badly long enough that I do it quickly and have failed in all attempts so far to unlearn and relearn. Maybe I should try a DVORAK keyboard?).
If you're really busy, why not identify an old post that fits the theme, and submit that? Or submit any piece of writing on your blog which you're proud of, carnivals thrive on variety!

We've got hosts for March 15, June 15, and September 15 and December 15. The March 15 host will get the call up soon. Thanks for your continued support of Scientiae!

Houston we had a problem ; but we will fix it!
6 comments Published by Pat on Tuesday, December 14, 2010 at 8:37 PMSo I was very sad, when I thought that there were no posts on having fun. It turns out that there were posts but because gmail had instituted a new "confirmation" policy they never got transferred to me.
We have found the problem, fixed the problem and hooray there will be a Carnival on having fun by Sat am. So for those of you who submitted, thank you! For those of you who didn't- it's not too late. Just get your post to me by Friday.
Pat
