  • Ohmy gosh! this is so great. I just started a blog carnival - Diversity in Science with the inaugural edition being dedicated to Black History Month - celebrating black innovators in science, tech, enginnering and math.

    I am hosting the carnival on my blog, Urban Science Adventures! (c). The announcement of the carnival is on my page: http://urban-science.blogspot.com/2009/02/its-black-history-month-celebrate.html.
    Please, please, please contribute to the carnival. I have received lots of support from the science blogging community but I am hoping this would be a multi-disciplinary blogopshere partiication project. I read your blog all of the time (subscribed via Networked Blogs on Facebook).

    Submission deadline is Feb 20, and the carnival will be posted on Feb 24.
    This is the link to submit your blog post: http://blogcarnival.com/bc/submit_6257.html.
