Proceedings of the 44th Carnival of Evolution

A little disclaimer to those of you coming to this cold (thanks for the link PZ!), this is the latest edition of the "Carnival of Evolution" -  a monthly collection of evolutionary writing from around the web. The conference-like layout is my little conceit in presenting the posts - sadly there won't be a real meeting (though it would sure be a good one!). Subscribe to the CoE blog to hear when the next carnival is posted.

Welcome to the 44th monthly meeting of the Society for the Blogging of Evolution. As you can see below, we had a large number of submissions this month and, in order to have only a single track of talks and get people to the banquet with sufficient energy to enjoy themselves, some submissions have been included in a poster session following the last of the talks. Submissions were grouped purely on their subject material, and a submission included in the poster-session shouldn't be viewed as inferior to any featured as a talk.

I hope you enjoy a day's worth of reading, and remind you that a host is still required for next month's meeting. Sign up with Bjørn (bjorn[at]bjornostman.com) if you are interesting in helping out.

Details on the banquet, please.
Hopefully there will be fermented products available at the Poster session...You know what, Ill just get one know while I peruse the posters.
Anyone have an extra drink ticket? Anyone?
Please keep us posted!
Information Dissemination Fail - the link to the "Society for the Blogging of Evolution" links straight back to this page. Where does one find out where this is at or even a date. You should really have a little more info, especially if PZ is sending hundreds of thousands your way.
I love the conceit of making the carnival look like a conference programme, David. Very nice!

Thanks for links guys, and yes, I definately suggest a product of a certain Saccharomyces hybrid while reading the posters.

I've added a little disclaimer for those of your reading a CoE for the first time...
Looks fantastic - I've linked back to it at http://www.genome-engineering.com/proceedings-of-the-44th-carnival-of-evolution.html
For the masses:

CoE on Facebook.

CoE on Twitter.

CoE blog.
Oh, and here's where you go to submit posts to CoE: BlogCarnival (click on 'submit an article').
Please note that the blog post attributed to me is actually written by Martin Turcott; I merely submitted it to the Carnival. I will, accordingly, give Martin my drink ticket.
Thanks for the reminder Ben - but I think submitting the talk and sorting out the credit is more than enough to earn your own drink tickets!
In case you’re fascinated by further evaluations, that tooth whitening may possibly assist you
