New Diversity in Science Carnival Posted

The latest Diversity in Science Carnival has been posted at Thus Spake Zuska. This edition's theme is women in science, and she's linked to some excellent posts.

The next carnival will be hosted by DN Lee at Urban Science Adventures! on the topic "Dealing With Diversity - what have you done with it, what obstacles have you faced, what success stories do you have". The deadline is May 20, so I should have time to actually post something for it.

Diversity in Science Carnival #1

The first Diversity in Science Carnival is up at Urban Science Adventures. There are a lot of excellent posts collected there, but I wanted to specifically point to several posts about women scientists:

• Canadian Girl Postdoc in America writes about mathematician Katherine Okikolu
• Oceanographer Ashanti Pyrtle was the profiled by ScienceWoman and given a shoutout by Miriam at The Oyster's Garter
• Zuska writes about physiologist and academic leader Pamela Gunter-Smith
  
• DrugMonkey wrote about Drug Abuse Researchers Yasmin L. Hurd and Chana K. Akins
  
• Dr. Joycelyn Simpson and Dr. Patricia Bath are on Brett Trout's list of the Top 10 African American Inventors.
  

And I'm especially looking forward to the next edition:

Join us late March/early April as Diversity in Science and Scientiae celebrate Women’s History Month and salute woman achievers in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Technology.

Diversity in Science Blog Carnival: African-American Innovators

Danielle Lee @ Urban Science Adventures has started a new blog carnival: Diversity in Science.

Blogs of every genre are invited to write a special feature post about a person who is a pioneer and/or innovator in any of the amazing fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM).
Tell us all about him/her?
How has this person impacted field of STEM and/or inspired you?
Or why is his/her story interesting?

February being Black History Month, the first carnival will be about African-American Innovators. The deadline is today, so if you want to be included, you'll have to dash something off. If you already have a blog post to submit, you can either follow the Blog Carnival Submission Link or leave a link in the comments to this thread.

I won't have time to post anything new in time to be included in the carnival, but you might be interested in some of my earlier posts featuring African-American and African women scientists and engineers:
