Ouroboros Announces First "Hourglass" Blog Carnival

The excellent biogerontology blog Ouroboros - Research in the Biology of Aging is going to be hosting a nifty-sounding blog carnival (aptly named "Hourglass") on July 8:

Topics of posts should have something to do with the biology of aging, broadly speaking — including fundamental research in biogerontology, age-related disease, ideas about life extension technologies, your personal experience with calorie restriction, maybe even something about the sociological implications of increased longevity. Opinions expressed are not necessarily those of the management, so feel free to subvert the dominant paradigm. If in doubt, submit anyway. About the only sorts of things I’m going to turn away are quackery or promotions of a commercial product. So, no growth hormone commercials or glowing reviews of your own book, please. :)


Sounds like fun! It will be really interesting to see what participants come up with. I'm going to see about catching up on some of my biogerontology reading and submitting a post -- I've been thinking about "aging and the brain" recently, so perhaps I'll look into that subject area.

(More details here).
