Carnival of the Blue No. 41

Carnival of the Blue No. 41 is live on my Cephalopodcast blog. From modified salmon to intersex snails, this edition has all kinds of curious creatures.

Next months edition is scheduled for November 1, 2010 at Oceana's Beacon blog. It is also time to start filling in the roster for next year. We've got one fresh face for January already. Ann from The Beachchair Scientist will be leading the Carnival of the Blue into the new year.

Carnival of the Blue Community Meeting
I am also planning an informal Carnival of the Blue Community Meeting for early January (date to be determined). I am looking for feedback on the future of the carnival and how best to manage the backend of the project. The meeting will take place online with a follow up ad hoc during the Science Online 2011 conference (if enough blue bloggers attend).
