Tangled Bank #108

 
The latest issue of Tangled Bank is #108. It's hosted at Wheat-dogg's world [The Tangled Bank #108].

Welcome to The Tangled Bank 108 and to the little-known but still fascinating Wheat-dogg’s World. I hope that after you peruse the fine entries in this edition of The Tangled Bank you’ll stroll around and check out things here in my neck of the Worldwide Woods.

Today we have science bloggers musing on some of the greater profundities of the universe as well on more concrete issues closer to home. Some of these posts ask more questions than they answer, but heck that’s what science is all about, hey?

Tangled Bank #107

 
The latest issue of Tangled Bank is #107. It's hosted at Syaffolee [Tangled Bank #107: The CYOA Edition].

You're trapped on a cruise ship in the South Pacific, bored out of your mind. The swimming pool holds no appeal. Gambling is pointless because the advantage is on the house. The books you brought with you have long been finished. You've even resorted to registering for a cha-cha class to relieve your ennui. But that's no fun, because the instructor is always yelling at you for having two left feet.

Then on a Wednesday morning, the ship docks on a small island. Travelers are allowed to go on land for the day. You debark and after wandering past the marketplace filled with locals hawking loud jewelry and ceremonial masks (probably manufactured in Taiwan), you find yourself in a small clearing with several paths meandering off into the undergrowth. There's a sign nearby saying:

"Welcome to the one hundred and seventh edition of Tangled Bank."

At the foot of the sign is a machete.

Gene Genie #32

 
The 32nd edition of Gene Genie has been posted at Highlight Health [Gene Genie #32 - Googling the Genie].

Welcome to the 32nd edition of Gene Genie, a blog carnival devoted to genes and genetic conditions. This edition includes some excellent articles on genes and gene-related diseases, genetics, genomics and personalized genetics.

Google Health launched publicly this week and to recognize the event, the last section of the carnival is devoted to articles specifically about the service. Google, financial backer of 23andMe, also funds the Personal Genome Project, which plans to unlock the secrets of common diseases by decoding the DNA of 100,000 people in the world’s biggest gene sequencing project [1]. With the vast number of genetic data points collected for each genome sequenced, a digital system for the movement and storage of personal health information is critical for the widespread use of individualized healthcare. Google’s entrance into the online personal health records market may thus help to accelerate the era of personalized medicine.

With these thoughts in mind, let’s get to to this month’s edition of the Genie.

Tangled Bank #105

 
The latest issue of Tangled Bank is #105. It's hosted at The Beagle Project Blog [Tangled Bank #105].

Welcome, readers, to this tag-teamed edition of the Tangled Bank blog carnival.

In the left-justified corner, all the way from the north Yorkshire coast, not far from where Darwin 'took the waters' in Ilkley, it's Peter McGrath.

And in the right-justified corner, coming to you from London, just a few miles away from Downe Bank, Darwin's inspiration for the tangled bank where "endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved", it's Karen James.

Well, you glorious swine. Speaking for myself, my blogreading life was full enough without discovering some of the new delights carnivalled here. The long evening reading all these posts has been a 'mental riot' (Darwin's description of the intellectual ferment when he was incubating The Origin), for which many thanks and the RSS has a slew of new entries. A tangled bank is not a monoculture, and I think we can offer something for all here.

I would never call our dear readers much less our prolific bank-tanglers 'swine', however glorious, but I certainly do share Peter's admiration for this fortnight's entries.

Welcome to the latest issue of The Tangled Bank, the blog carnival dedicated to the world of biology, medicine, natural history…and Sarah Silverman.

We’re all getting older. And as we get older, we lose the ability to hear some frequencies. Diane Kelly of Science Made Cool offers Is That…A Dog Whistle? – a tale of a test that lets you know just how much damage you did to your hearing back in your clubbing days…or will do when you finally finish grad school and are able to emerge onto the social scene ....

Tangled Bank #101

 
The latest issue of Tangled Bank is #101. It's hosted at Tangled Up in Blue Guy [Tangled Bank #101].

When I first found that I would be hosting this edition of Tangled Bank, I tried to come up with a theme centered on Highway 101. It runs along the West Coast in the US and A and a stretch of it through San Francisco is also known as Van Ness Boulevard. I lived a block away from Van Ness for a year and one of my favorite pubs was an English Local, known as Highway 101. The idea for a clever theme vanished when I started receiving and reading the submissions that people sent. I decided I didn’t want to detract from the entries featured by making the show gimmicky. The Tangled Bank isn’t about me, it’s about science and the excitement of discovery as people unravel the mysteries of the natural world.

Gene Genie #27

 
The 27th edition of Gene Genie has been posted at DNA Direct Talk [The Gene Genie: Yes, But What About Me?].

Welcome to another edition of Gene Genie, the blog carnival about genes, genomics and gene-related diseases. With Craig Venter and 23andMe and decodeME all over the news, I thought this edition might be appropriately focused on genes and “me.” What does the gene genie have to say about us?

Tangled Bank #100

 
The latest issue of Tangled Bank is #100. It's hosted at AECHAEOPORN [Tangled Bank #100, Bad Flu Edition].

PZ Myers, in his link to this clears up a numbering error, and it turns out this is the 100th edition of Tangled Bank. Congratulation to Dr. Myers in such a long term and well run blog carnival, and thanks to all the other hosts who put time and energy to 1 through 99!

I’ve come down with a terrible flu right in time for Tangled Bank #100. This is making it quite difficult to even sit at my computer and type. Luckily, we have a volunteer to put together this issue in my absence. A famous movie star and producer and great mind of evolutionary biology. His most recent work will include the likes of Dr. Richard Dawkins and Dr. PZ Myers.

Because of various publicity concerns, he wishes to remain nameless. However, he promised that his work will be fair an unbiased, offering no cherry picking or quote mining at all.

The 26th edition of Gene Genie has been posted at sciencebase [Rubbing Up the Gene Genie].

Sciencebase is this week proud to play host to the Gene Genie Blog Carnival thanks to an offer from Bertalan “Berci” Meskó over on the excellent ScienceRoll. For those who don’t already know, a Blog Carnival doesn’t usually involve a lot of be-costumed revellers dancing through the streets to the sound of the samba band, but is a gathering of like-minded bloggers brought together through the power of the tubular Interwebs to share their latest posts on a given subject.
