Tangled Bank #22

The Tangled Bank

The 22nd edition of the Tangled Bank is now up and ready for reading!

There was one unfortunate problem this time around. It seems that gmail decided that this bozo (umm, me) who was constantly forwarding links to Selva must be some kind of spammer, and started filtering me out. A small heap of recent submissions got thrown into the junk mail pile, so if you sent something in and it isn't there, don't worry, it wasn't that anyone thought you weren't worthy…it was gmail deciding that I wasn't worthy.

Anyway, they have all been recovered. What I think I'll do is put them into a special post this weekend, a kind of temporary tributary of the Tangled Bank, so you'll actually get two collections of science posts this week. Hooray!

New submissions should be sent to grrlscientist@yahoo.com, me, or host@tangledbank.net, for appearance at Living the Scientific Life on 9 March.

9 March is my birthday, by the way, and if anyone wants to get me something special, a link to a lovely science article on the web would be just perfect!

  1. Well, what Tangled Bank #22 lost in quantity, it certainly made up in quality - it is an awesome collection of posts. With issue #22.5 cutting the waiting period between two editions in half, we are all going to be happy campers over the next two weeks.

  2. I found a top ten list for vestigial traits at Live Science the url is:

    However, being the geek that I am offered a reply that you can find here:

    I'll see if I can dig up any other cool articles. The ongoing online debate between Sahotra Sarkar and Michael Ruse is pretty interesting too but I'm sure you've seen it.

  3. I wondered what happened. I'm glad to hear that Bank-heads (is that what fans of the Tangled Bank are called? are there any out there?) won't be deprived of our lost posts. Thanks!
