Such festive times! I just came back from a festival, to announce the arrival of a carnival!
The Carnival
The carnival in question is the The MolBio Carnival, which will be hosted here at Thoughtomics in two weeks. The carnival was set up a month ago by Alejandro Montenegro, Lab Rat, Psi Wavefunction, Alexander Knoll and myself to give exposure to all bloggers who write about research on molecular and cellular biology. You can check out the first edition of the MolBio Carnival here.
If you’ve written a blogpost yourself on the subject of molecular or cellular biology, I encourage you to submit your posts to the blog carnival online here! All blog posts on biochemistry, microbiology, structural biology, signal transduction, gene expression etc. are very much welcomed!
A blog carnival is a great way of exposing a larger and interested audience to your writing, so spread the word via social media, e-mails and general gossip on the streets!
The Festival
The festival that I would recommend to everybody is the Dutch Lowlands festival. Four days of great music, dancing, creativity, sweating, some more dancing, delicious food and general awesomeness. On Lowlands, a thousand little things happen besides the music. Street performers show off their talents and weirdness, while a philosopher is giving a lecture on the interface between humans and technology and twentysomething people are collectively jumping a rope made of duct tape.
Weirdness all around. Practical if you want to keep out an eye on your fish though!
Musical highlight? Miike Snow, no doubt about it.
