Last call for submissions for ‘Praxis’ and ‘The Giants’ Shoulders’

Only two ways left to submit!
Next edition of The Giant’s Shoulders will be on May 15th on Curving Normality. History of science, ‘classical’ papers? If you have blogged about those over the past 30 days, please send in your entry.
I understand that the next edition of Praxis will also be on May 15th on The Lay Scientist. Next month, it will be on Quiche Morraine and in July here on A Blog Around The Clock – we need hosts for after that! Let Martin or me know if you are interested.

Last call for submissions for ‘Praxis’ and ‘The Giants’ Shoulders’

Since The Lay Scientist had technical problems with the blog, there was no Praxis last month. Martin will thus post it this month (on or close to the 15th). He still has all the entries from last time around, but please also send some fresh submissions as well.
Next edition of The Giant’s Shoulders will be hosted by Stochastic Scribbles on April 16th. So, if you have History Of Science posts (or are just about to write one), please submit.

Diversity in Science – Women’s History Month Edition

The next edition of this fantastic carnival will be hosted by Zuska:

The first Diversity in Science carnival, created and hosted by DNLee of Urban Science Adventures as a Black History Month Celebration, was a great success. Thanks to everyone who contributed!
Now it’s time for our second round, which will be hosted right here at Thus Spake Zuska. Naturally, since it is March, our focus this time around will be a Women’s History Month Celebration! The theme is “Women Achievers in STEM – Past and Present” and we are asking you to profile a woman in some field of science – your own or maybe one you wish you’d chosen! Tell us something about her life, her work, why you find her interesting.

Wet or Dry, it’s our Earth

Carnival of the Arid #2, the blog carnival about deserts, is up on Coyote Crossing.
Related to lack of water is, well, lack of water and how it affects people, leads to wars over water, etc. So for the World Water Day on March 22, the blogosphere will write about transboundary water. Send your entries to Daniel for this one-off carnival (or is this more properly called Synchroblogging?).

Diversity in Science Carnival #1 is amazing!

The very first, inaugural, and absolutely amazing edition of the Diversity in Science Carnival is now up on Urban Science Adventures. Wow! Just wow! Totally amazing stuff.
And what a reminder of my White privilege – a couple of names there are familiar to me, as I have read their papers before, never ever stopping to think who they were or how they looked like! What a wake-up call!
For instance, I have read several papers by Chana Akins, as she works on Japanese quail. And I am somewhat familiar (being a history buff and obsessive reader of literature in my and related fields) with the work of Charles Henry Turner, covered in this carnival not once but twice – both by Danielle Lee and by Ajuan Mance!
It also did not escape my notice that several of the posts are eligible for the next editions of Scientiae and The Giant’s Shoulders – double your readership by submitting those posts there as well!
