I’m hosting Scientiae for March. First of all, I’m really pleased that Scientiae is continuing. The carnival is what got me into blogging in the first place.
Now the difficult part: trying to figure out a theme for this month. I’ve never hosted Scientiae before and I didn’t realize how tricky this could be! At last I’ve settled on a very broad topic: Continuity. The word applies not only to Scientiae (we’re on year 3!), but Science, too. To start you all thinking about this topic I looked it up in the OED.
Continuity
|ˌkäntnˈ(y)oōətē|
noun ( pl. -ties)
1. the unbroken and consistent existence or operation of something over a period of time
• a state of stability and the absence of disruption
• (often continuity between/with) a connection or line of development with no sharp breaks
2. the maintenance of continuous action and self-consistent detail in the various scenes of a movie or broadcast : [as adj. ]
Of course, if you would like to write about something not on this topic, that’s perfectly fine, too. Please email a permalink to your post to scientiaecarnival [a] gmail [dt] com by 11:59pm on February 27th. (Don’t worry I’ll send an email to the Scientiae Google Group to remind you!) I’ll post the carnival by 11:59pm on March 1st. I’m looking forward to everyone’s submissions!
huh? Now I feel a bit silly but this sounds hard. I need to think and ponder what to write for this….
🙂
Chall, I didn't mean to make this too hard! I was thinking about how we're continuing Scientiae. Also, that I'm (hopefully) graduating soon and Advisor is prepping me to transfer the stuff I've developed in the lab to the new people. That sort of thing. 🙂
And don't worry, you can always write a post about something else! I'm more than happy to include anything you write!
Sounds interesting! I'll try to think of something… (though I haven't been good at all about participating in recent Scientiaes)
Amanda: you're sweet. thanks.
I think I was more confused on where you were going with it, but now I have my thinking cap on and think I have something to write about. (your statement about moving on from grad student made me understand one part. I think it might be "letting go of your baby" 😉 )
I'm new to blogging and the blog carnival idea, but this sounds fun! I think I have an older post (couple of weeks) that would fit under your theme…is it acceptable to use something "old" instead of writing up a new post?
Dr. O: It's perfectly acceptable to use an older post. Just email me the permalink.
