So much science is being written around the blogiverse. So much science that should be more spread, shared and understood.

With this as motivation, here at the Science in Review blog, I decided to start a Group Writing Project that calls out to all scientists or bloggers interested in science to write about science in a way that is understandable by all, and focus on a proposed theme.

I intend to, on a periodic basis, give out a subject to be used as theme for articles. Call it a Blog Carnival, a Group Writing project, whatever… If participation exceeds expectations, I’ll consider turning this projects into a real Blog Carnival with different hosts. If not, I’ll just keep it on my own backyard.

This edition’s theme: Bacteria.

Instructions

Write a post on your blog about anything Bacteria (news that involve bacteria, diseases, lab techniques, anything bacteria… if it has bacteria in it, then it’s suitable), but write in in a way that can also be understood by laymen. The Deadline is October 5th.
Leave a comment on this post with the permalink to your article or contact me directly.
Spread the word. Although it’s not required that you announce this Project in your blog before your submission, it’s very much appreciated.
After the deadline, I’ll collect all the links and publish them all in one post. You can either link to it from your blog or reprint the list.

Nothing more simple…

The advantages of participating are many: you’ll be creating content that may be interesting to your readers and it will probably be linked by the majority of the participants.

I’ll be looking forward for your submission.

Okay, seeing as you asked, how about this unusual angle on bacteria and how we can defend ourselves against them using bacteriophages (viruses that infect bacteria)

I’ve got another relevant post today that may be of interest it’s regarding L-form bacteria, their putative role in chronic illess, and the current thinking on treating the problem

Hi Cesar,

Thanks for participating. Very interesting article you have there.

Another?

Could L-form bacteria, i.e. bacteria that has lost the cell wall, be the underlying cause of many chronic diseases?

[...] If you’re new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting! Sometime ago, I decided to give a shout to all the friendly science bloggers out there calling for articles that talked about bacteria. This was the very first Group Writing Project that I hosted on this blog: Science Linked: Bacteria. [...]
