The next edition of Scientia Pro Publica (Science for the People) is less than two weeks away and it is seeking submissions! Can you help by sending URLs for well-written science, medicine, and nature blog essays to me?

Scientia Pro Publica is a traveling blog carnival that celebrates the best science, environment, nature and medical writing targeted specifically to the public that has been published in the blogosphere within the past 60 days.

The most recent edition of Scientia Pro Publica (Science for the People) can be read at Stephen Curry's blog, Reciprocal Space: Scientia Pro Publica -- 22nd edition.

The host for the upcoming 15 March edition will be Bjørn, who writes Pleiotropy. To send your submissions to Scientia Pro Publica, either use this automated submission form or use the cute little widget on the right (be aware that widget doesn't upload when the mother site is nonfunctional, and also check your email/spam filter for your submission receipt to be sure it was sent properly). When submitting an essay, be sure to include the URL or "permalink", the essay title and -- to make life easier for the host -- please include a 2-3 sentence summary. Don't forget that all essays must be written for the purpose of communicating with the public and non-specialists, and if the host suspects a submission is either advertising or pseudoscience, it will be rejected.

If you wish to read the archived issues to see what sorts of essays that were linked previously, visit the Scientia website.

Since Scientia Pro Publica is a traveling blog carnival, it needs host sites to travel to. If you are interested in hosting this carnival on your blog, please contact me as soon as possible or notify the current host (please note that I prefer hosts who have had their writing included in one or more editions of this carnival). Scientia Pro Publica is published on the first and third Monday of each month, so feel free to choose a particular date, or I'll assign you the first available date [working schedule of Scientia hosts]. Due to the number of submissions received, I am contemplating publishing a weekly issue of Scientia until the summer months arrive, when it will resume its normal twice-monthly schedule (until the number of non-spam non-woo submissions exceeds 50 once more).
