Carnival of Evolution: Help keep a dying species alive

Help keep a dying species alive

It's time to submit the blog-posts on evolution you have written (or those written by others). Carnival of Evolution #58 will be hosted by Bradley Alicea on Synthetic Daisies.

Hosts are needed for May and onwards. Everyone is welcome to host, even if you have hosted before.

Lastly, I am getting the vibe that Google+ is going nowhere, and that Facebook is taking over. Even some blogging is now done on Facebook, with popular pages such as Evolution and I Fucking Love Science (you are also welcome to promote your posts on Carnival of Evolution's Facebook page). Are other people getting this? Science blog carnivals are dying left and right (I think CoE is the only one alive at the moment?). Can anything be done, or is this out of our hands? Ideas?

About Carnival of Evolution

Do you care about the science behind evolution? Do you marvel at the tiny molecular machines spewing out coded messages to the microscopic inhabitants of your own bodied world? Do you grow irate at the ignorance pushers and the disintegration of evolution education in the modern world? Do you like to stay abreast of current topics and scientific findings in the study of the organismal existences surrounding us or those long gone?

If so, this is the blog carnival for you. (Don't know what a "blog carnival" is? Read this.)

MAILING LIST: if you would like reminders of publication and submission, send an email to bjorn@bjornostman.com.

Instructions for Contributor Submissions

If you have posts either directly or indirectly related to evolution, submit by commenting with a URL on the Facebook page.

Your posts can be specifically related to current science concerning evolution, opinions, or dealing with whatever current anti-evolution attacks you find in the media or world. Really, anything related to evolution, whether direct or tangential, is fair game. Your inclusion in to the carnival is up to the current host.

Important: When your post is included in a CoE edition, please link back to the edition post from your own blog. Say something like "The CoE is up and I've been included."

If you want your posts read by more people, please submit the carnival edition to social bookmarking sites (Facebook, Twitter, G+, StumbleUpon, Digg, Reddit). Promotion is a key factor in creating a successful blog carnival!
