November, the cruelest month? I don't know, but at the very end of it, right after Thanksgiving, on the actual last day of the month (the 30th, for those chronologically challenged or without a calendar), I'm going to be hosting the Tangled Bank.
What, you ask, is that?
The Tangled Bank is a carnival (try, compilation) of the best blog writing about science. It is named after Charles Darwin's famous metaphor:
It is interesting to contemplate a tangled bank, clothed with many plants of many kinds, with birds singing on the bushes, with various insects flitting about, and with worms crawling through the damp earth, and to reflect that these elaborately constructed forms, so different from each other, and dependent upon each other in so complex a manner, have all been produced by laws acting around us.
If you have written anything with a scientific twist on your blog, blow your own horn a little and either post a link here, or if you're shy, email me. I can't put my email address on here as it is just like sending out a little note to the universe saying SPAM ME!, but you can just click here and send me a message.
Of course I'd especially love submissions relating to veterinary medicine, or really, anything to do with animals, but I welcome all science-related themes, including medicine, biology, evolution, science education, pharmacy, astronomy, chemistry, physics, etc. I especially like submissions about the politics of science and medicine.

Want to see this week's Tangled Bank?
Now go scour your blogs for your science-related submissions, and if you want to nominate someone else's entry, that's fine too. Go turn over rocks and find those vet blogs!! I know they must be out there.
