Now on ScienceBlogs: The Lights Stay On Inside a Black Hole!
"The universe is full of magical things, patiently waiting for our wits to grow sharper." -- Eden Phillpotts.
GrrlScientist is an evolutionary biologist, ornithologist, aviculturist, birder and freelance science and nature writer. A native of the Pacific Northwest, she relocated from Seattle to NYC with her parrots after earning a BS in Microbiology (emphasis in Virology) and PhD in Zoology (Ornithology) from the University of Washington. In NYC, she was the Chapman Postdoctoral Fellow at the American Museum of Natural History for two years, pursuing part of her "dream" research project by reconstructing a molecular phylogeny of the parrots of the South Pacific islands. GrrlScientist and her five parrots are currently relocating to Germany, where she will continue writing her blog while also writing a book and learning German. (Meanwhile, her parrots will continue to nibble on her extensive personal library.) If you appreciate GrrlScientist's writing, you can help pay her living expenses by hiring her to "blog" your conference, speak at your club or write articles for your publication (or by clicking on the Paypal button below). If you read an essay on this blog that you especially enjoyed, please nominate it for inclusion in OpenLab2009.

If you are a soccer (football) fan in NYC, the least crowded bar in all of Manhattan will be Bourbon Street on 407 Amsterdam. This pub will open tomorrow at 9am to watch the England - Paraguay game and on Monday noon, you can watch the USA lose to play the Czech Republic.
(I'll probably be here tomorrow, but who knows if I'll show up Monday).

From the comments on your "Orgasm of Beery Delight" I see that it is the same bar. Free WiFi, beer, bras hanging above the bar, the World Cup - damn, I'm stuck in the wrong part of New York State.

I didn't realise you were that enlightened!
I hope the US game is better than England's - awful. Mind you, we did get to watch Sweden fail to beat the 10 men of T&T.
For anyone else in Helsinki, try Painobaari (in Sanomatalo). It's not that crowded, has good beers, an international crowd (a lot of rugby players), and has a nice terrace. And it'll be getting WiFi.
No bras though. :-(
