Praxis: The "Life in Academia" Blog Carnival

I just wanted to bring everyone's attention to a great new blog carnival that debuted this month: Praxis, a collection of posts covering a wide range of experience, viewpoints, and advice relating to life in academia. I'm kicking the grad school hunt into high gear this fall, so I am consuming as much information about academia as I can possibly take in, I was very excited to see this new carnival! Bora hosted the first edition, there is some great material there!

I was pleasantly surprised to see that one of my updates from Belize was included! I was glad I could contribute a "bugs and mud" fieldwork perspective, lots of people have the misconception that scientists just hang out in labs all day, wearing white coats and peering into microscopes. The Praxis carnival seems like a great way to learn about broad range of experiences and opportunities within the field of academic science.

Make sure to monitor the Praxis blog and check out the hosting schedule so you don't miss upcoming editions!

Thank you.

And you guessed the EXACT reason why that particular post of yours was included (while you were away so could not submit it yourself).
