the Cancer Research Blog Carnival

Wow, who knew?  There's a Cancer Research Blog Carnival.  This week it is hosted by the skeptical alchemist. 

You might ask "what's a blog carnival?"  Good question.  There are many of them, originally they were just "interesting stuff" but recently they've become a lot more focused, such as "cancer research".  One blog each week offers to host the carnival, and a bunch of other bloggers submit posts from their blogs which are relevant to the subject.  Then the host blogger compiles a single post which is that week's carnival, with links to all the other blogs and usually accompanies by a brief synopsis or even the host blogger's thoughts about the linked post.
Next week the scene shifts and another blogger hosts the moveable feast.  In this way each week there is a compendium of interesting posts all about the particular subject.

If you're interested in Cancer Research - as a lot of the readers of this blog are - then check out this post, and also make a note of next week's location at Hematopoiesis.  Happy blog-reading!
