Tangled Bank #44 is up at Afarensis:

Welcome to Tangled Bank # 44! When I volunteered to host this edition of the Tangled Bank I was expecting to read a lot of good science writing on a lot of interesting subjects. Even so, I fear I have underestimated how good and interesting science bloggers really are!

Take a well deserved break from political scandals, supreme court nominations, and aspiring kings presidents…well, almost,…but go read for yourself!
