Carnival #17 - the Microbiological edition!

The latest molbio carnival is up over at Rule of 6, and it's a brilliant one. It's particularly dear to my heart as it focuses very strongly on the microbiological world, and there can never be enough bacterial blog-posts in my opinion.

So if you want to read about bacterial toxins, ebola or the black death, head over and take a look. The next edition will be out on the second of January, and will be hosted at Chimeras by E.E. Giorgi, whose submitted some great posts to the carnival in the past.

If you have any posts you'd like to submit, just use this handy submission form. We're always happy to hear from future hosts as well, so if you've got a science-related blog and would like to host the cornucopia of molbio goodness that is the carnival, just get in touch!

The 16th MolBio carnival is now up!

The latest edition of the carnival can be seen at Thoughtomics blog, written up by Lucas Brouwers. There are some great entries, and Lucas has done a wonderful job of putting them together so go take a look. There's co-evolving proteins, dinosaurs with measles and Syphilitic Romans!


The next carnival will be hosted by Connor Bamford at his blog Rule of Six on the fifth of December. If you have any blog posts exploring the world of the small and cellular, please submit them using the form here, or get in touch with Connor.

Call for submissions - Molbio carnival #14

The next molbio carnival will be hosted at Lab Rat at her shiny new Scientific American blog.


If you've written (or read!) any posts about molecular biology recently, please submit them here. We're not too fussy about the definition of MolBio, anything small and intracellular will be considered for the carnival. You can take a look at any previous editions by exploring the other entries on this blog to see what kind of things we usually feature.

The MolBio Carnival #6

From Kevin Bonham's selected post
at We Beasties 
The first 2011 issue of The MolBio Carnival is now live at Phased. It's the 6th one already!

Michael Scott Long did a great job hosting the first ever issue organized by someone that wasn't directly involved in the Carnival's initial conception.

With topics ranging from bacterial superantigents and protein structure prediction, to zinc finger nucleases, the 6th edition of the Carnival will surely pique your interest, regardless of your field of research.

If you didn't have time to get your post in this month's issue, don't worry! You can always submit to the next edition, which will be hosted by Francisco Barriga at MolBio Research Highlights. The Carnival returns home for its 7th edition!
