Launch of Eye on DNA and Call for Submissions
One of the first established genetics/health bloggers to give some link love to Epigenetics News after its launch in March 2006 was Dr. Hsien-Hsien Lei, formerly of the b5 media blog Genetics and Health. Just recently, she announced that she is breaking out on her own with a new blog devoted entirely to genetics, Eye on DNA. The site is just getting going, but Hsien-Hsien has always impressed me with her overall knowledge of genetics issues and her ability to convey some complex and controversial topics to a general audience. I have no doubt that Eye on DNA will be an excellent source of unique information and perspectives from a veteran genetics blogger.
Tangled Bank and Mendel’s Garden
On another note, as some people may have now realized, Epigenetics News will be host to two blog carnivals next week, Mendel’s Garden (May 
and Tangled Bank (May 10). The alignment of these two science link festivals at this blog was a complete coincidence on the part of the separate scheduling parties, but since they fall on the week after finals, I’ll have so much time on my hands that hosting two carnivals in one week will be like shooting a pipette tip from the corner of the lab, banking off a stack of histology slide boxes and into the tall trash receptacle next to the door. (Translation: Easy.)
So, if you’d like to submit a bit of genetics goodness or any science-related blog writing over the past 2-4 weeks, go ahead and submit to admin AT epigeneticsnews DOT com. I’ll be sure to include everything that has some connection to either genetics or science in general.
Until then, anyone have any last-minute pieces of advice on memorizing cell signaling pathways?
You have lost your mind! Hosting TWO blog carnivals in one week?! I was scratching my head as to which posts I should send you so they wouldn’t overlap too much.
Thanks for the mention of Eye on DNA. I’m very excited to be out on my own!

Congratulations for the blog meetings. On the other hand, when I suffered myself the shock of taking Signaling Pathways, Regulation of Metabolism, or Human Pathology (pure memoristic courses) I used that mind mapping technique, and it worked very well- but it is useful only for long term memory, sorry.
