Carnivalia catch-up

Okay, so with not blogging for awhile, I’ve been missing out on a lot of carnival stuff. In the interest of maintaining my standing as a good carnival-supporter, here’s a catch up post:

The Carnival of the Godless hosted at Jyunri Kankei. “Sex advice from a virgin has a post title that initially made me go “oh, Catholics, I’ve thought about that,” but actually contains more thoughtfulness than I would normally spend on the Pope. For what it’s worth, I think I also missed linking to State of Protest’s edition too.

The Philosopher’s Carnival, hosted by Possible Philosophy. I’m going to somewhat lazily second Richard Chappell and recommend Blackburn, Truth, and other Hot Topics. Don’t agree with it, but it makes for interesting reading.

The Molecular and Cell Biology Carnival is a new (only in its second edition!) and quite specialized carnival–may not appeal to non-scientists, but you will learn about the link between inflammation and the mood disorder depression.

The Skeptics Circle is up at Action Skeptics, in its Dirty Limericks Edition.

The Tangled Bank, finally, is hosted this week by The Beagle Project Blog, and contains interesting information on Platypuses.

  1. The article about inflammation and depression has some interesting implication for pharmaceuticals. It talks about TNFR and why people who have a certain allele of the gene don’t respond to Lexapro, and I find that incredibly interesting.

    Genetic tests for drug efficacy are around the corner .
