If you do theoretical/computational work in the sciences, please consider writing a post that tells us a little bit about what your work entails, what you enjoy/dislike, what types of problems you tackle, what made you chose your specialization, etc. You don't have to be too specific, but you certainly can if you want. Send a link (a comment here or drop me an email) so I can aggregate the posts. Even if you don't blog, consider either writing a lengthier comment here and I will link to that as your post (please don't post as Anonymous, give yourself some nickname for the occasion) or, alternatively, email me the text and I will put it up as a guest post.
It's perfectly fine to recycle some of your old favorite posts.
Why this carnival? Yes, we use math and computers. A lot. But I would like everyone else to learn a little bit about what makes us tick, what makes us successful, what types of problems we encounter, and why what we do is so darn awesome!
Deadline: Sunday, September 25.
Please leave a comment here or drop me a line if you are participating (geekmommyprof at gmail.com) so I can be on the lookout.
Ideally, I would like to put the carnival summary post up on Monday, September 26.
Thanks in advance for participating!

Hi - I really like your idea and I want to take part. My link is here. I tried to put it in laymens terms (I don't know how successful I was).

I'm really looking forward to reading this carnival. My students really don't seem to understand the relevance of theoretical work (or even that it is AWESOME), so I'm hoping to get some good examples of awesomeness for them....or even a resource to point them towards!
anonymous mad scientist, thank you very much for your contribution!
UR, I think it's gonna be great, stay tuned!
I would like to do this. I will try to write an email to you today. And think of a good pseudo.
Thanks, Anon. I will be on the lookout.
