Well we're underway! The first edition of Praxis*, the new carnival about scientific life, will be hosted at Coturnix's "Blog Around the Clock" on August 15th, and on the 15th of every month thereafter.
Topics:
The carnival is intended to cover all aspects of life as an academic, whether it's the lifestyle, career progress, doing a Ph.D., getting funding, climbing the slippery pole, academic life as a minority, working with colleagues and students, dealing with the peer-review process, publishing, grants, science 2.0, amusing anecdotes, conference experiences, philosophical musings, public engagement, or even historical articles about what life was like in the good (or bad) old days.

* For those of you who are curious, Praxis is named after Aristotle's activities of men.
In addition to being the name of a volatile Klingon moon, the word praxis has the more common meaning of "[a] process by which a theory, lesson, or skill is enacted or practiced." Though for ultimate nerd-cred, a logo that looked more like this would be cool.
Well yes, it's pretty cool, but does it fit in 24 pixels? I think not :P
BTW, The definition we're using here for Praxis is <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Praxis_(process)">Aristotle's</a>. I probably ought to explain that somewhere one day...

Ooops, that Wikipedia link to Aristotle is the one I meant to include in my comment but managed to mung it up.
