Sloane’s birthday is rapidly approaching and April 16 just happens to coincide with a well-known History of Science/Medicine/Technology blog carnival. To celebrate Sloane’s birthday this year, I’ll be hosting Giants’ Shoulders #70. Huzzah!
Please send in your blog post nominations by April 15 at the latest. You can send them directly to me at lisa dot smith AT usask dot ca or to Thony Christie the GS mastermind.
(And don’t be shy–please do nominate your own blog posts, too…)
9 April Update: Thony Christie’s call for Giants’ Shoulders nominations includes a short bio of Sloane!
