In the past two years I have given up two addictions, smoking and sodas. However I’m still addicted to several things… science, photography, coffee, and blogging (yes, in that order.)

Hey at least they are all healthy addictions, right?
Hat-tip to Kevin, my even more addicted co-blogger at The Other 95%.
The latest edition of Linnaeus Legacy (which I actually wrote…) is now up over at The Other 95%. It has lot’s of great posts – Go read, comment… or not.
Now to update my CV for a meeting tomorrow afternoon. Time to start keeping that updated year round!
Eclectic Echoes and The Other 95% are in a few of the carnivals along with many other most excellent blogs. These carnivals, if you are not familiar, round up the best posts online, usually on some theme.
This month (tomorrow!) I will be hosting Linneaus’ Legacy over at The Other 95%. That one is a carnival dedicated to species descriptions, and taxonomy and systematics theory and methods. There are some excellent taxonomists that regularly participate. (I’ll add the link as soon as it’s up!)
In the mean time a variety of other carnivals of interest or that Eclectic Echoes / Other 95% support ad are involved in:
While Kevin and I forgot to submit an entry this month (Doh!), the latest Carnival of the Blue is up at The Saipan Blog. The Carnival of the Blue is our favorite ocean themed carnival, all ocean all the time. This edition includes a lot of delights on the menu including the Mariana Trench National Monument news, manatees, cephalopods and more.
The boneyard is dedicated to all things paleontological. This month it is featured at When Pigs Fly Returns and features Tsintaosaurus, Carbon Age ecology, dromaeosaurs and fossil inverts among others!
I and the Bird #83 is hosted at Wrenaissance Reflections this week. This one is dedicated to writing about our favorite non extinct dinosaurs. Their criteria is that the writing should be about the birds and your feeling, interactions etc. Check it out…there is some really good writing and photography represented.
The Friday Ark for the first week of September (#207) is also up. This one is a collection of posts with a far looser structure. The only requirement is that an animal must take center stage.
Deep Sea News is headed to Discovery!
Starting in September the gang will be blogging the ocean from the Discovery Channel.
Congrats to Craig, Kevin and Peter!
So can you guys now get me, er…I mean Johann an autograph from the Mythbusters?
I knew it would happen sooner or later, and truth to tell I wasn’t hiding it, I just wasn’t advertising it. Yet, they have found me out!
My first clue was when a certain picture showed up on the staff and students page for a lab, for which I am doing a summer internship that is turning into a longer term project. Hopefully, I can do some research at the lab as well. I would love to do a bit of research on survivability and development of larvae under severe conditions.
The professor is also my adviser, so when I saw him on Monday, I was a little bit nervous that the web site, or certain components of it, might be an issue. Fortunately, it isn’t an issue and he’s even linking it under my bio on the web page.
At the same time, Rick MacPherson, the Director of Conservation Programs for the Coral Reef Alliance (CORAL), has included The Other 95% in a salute to great ocean blogs. I have some serious respect for CORAL and the work they have done all over the world, genuinely making it happen, and Rick’s Malaria, Bedbugs, Sea Lice and Sunset is one of my regular reads, especially the awesome That’s A Moray Monday series.
His list had some new sites for me, especially the international ones. If you’re at all interested in ocean science an conservation it is a highly recommended starting point for your cyber classroom and adventures.
