Along with the carnival I started a list of science/nature/engineering blogs by persons of color. If you know of some of our fellow NBN bloggers who fit the bill and wouldn't mind sharing, I'd appreciate it. One of the other topics discussed was creating a catalog of such blogs - just to show the world that science/nature bloggers are diverse. Thanks! Thanks!!

And maybe that’s a perception that needs adjusting if for no other reason than to incorporate the diversity of individuals involved. The NBN is no exception with a wealth of interesting science junkies making their research approachable to the rest of us." Inspired by the ScienceOnline09 Workshops about Diversity, a new carnival has been created to address this very notion of who scientists are, what they look like, and what they do. The Carnival is called Diversity in Science and the first edition goes up on Feb 24 (at my blog). This month's theme is a Black History Month celebration of innovators (or educators or interpreters since we are nature bloggers) in STEM. I introduced the carnival here: http://urban-science.blogspot.com/2009/02/its-black-history-month-celebrate.html Already there is a lot of support (and submissions). It would be great to have other NBN bloggers on board. Later, Danielle How interesting and timely you say this:
