*Science Bloggers – I want to hear from YOU!*
If you write a science related blog, then may I invite you to submit blog entries for one of the more popular science blog carnivals on the web. I will be hosting the 25 October edition of Scientia Pro Publica (Science for the People) at my blog, Traversing the Razor. The post is hereat http://traversingtherazor.wordpress.com/
*It would be great to get more Australian blogs onto it.*
In fact, for those of you in the media, the story of the rise of science blogging and blog carnivals is an interesting one. This is consolidating as a way of delivering science content on the web, especially with the take up of blogs by newspapers like the Guardian in England, and journals like Nature hosting blogs too. I’m happy to help out here if you’re interested in the story.

Soon I will have the honour to present to you, dear readers, the 43rd Editionof *Scientia Pro Publica http://scientiablogcarnival.blogspot.com/*! This was a recent revelation for me, and I was fortunate enough to be included in edition 42hosted at Cosmodynamics http://cosmodynamics.blogspot.com/. Thanks Vanessa!
*Scientia Pro Publica* is a bi-weekly carnival of the best science writing (well communication generally) from across the blogosphere. It has grown in stature to the point where the convener is now seriously contemplating making this a weekly thing. In other words, *Scientia Pro Publica* is becoming something akin to the Nature of science blogging. Ok, that might be a bit of a stretch, however, it is like a magazine – it relies on public blog submissions and the host to compile and editorialize a selection of submitted blog posts. Currently, it receives more than 50 submissions each time, and this grows with each new host as the network expands.
So, watch this space.
*More importantly, if you are interested in science and writing, and would like to submit, just use the online form. http://blogcarnival.com/bc/submit_6714.html*
I would be interested in hearing from bloggers in earth science disciplines, as geology is my “home discipline”. That said, I have very broad scientific interests, so anything is welcome. You will notice that Traversing the Razor has very little geology in it!
The more the merrier! You may even want to host it yourself sometime!
Can’t wait to see your submissions!!
Cheers,

Hi Nancy, despite being a paid up member of the ASC, it appears they have me blocked to write to the ASC list still. I was trying to write an email about the Scientia Pro Publica Science blog carnival (which I am hosting soon). The email text is below, if you possibly could/had time, could you send it out on my behalf as the ASC is taking a while to respond to my requests…
Thanks, Mike
