Now on ScienceBlogs: "Investigative science journalism" and books I like to read [All of My Faults Are Stress Related]
"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 has written a blog about science since 4 August 2004 (the early years are archived here) and was part of the original invited group of 14 "SciBlings" -- her only claim to fame. If you appreciate GrrlScientist's writing, please help her pay her living expenses by clicking on the Paypal button below and by voting for her to be the official blogger on a month long adventure in Antarctica. If you read an essay that you especially enjoyed, please nominate it for OpenLab2009.

A friend sent this "thought for the day" that I'd want to share with all of you;
Friends are like butt cheeks.
Shit might separate them
But they always come back together again.
A lot of peeps are helping me out, especially during my hospitalization, so I just want to take this opportunity to let all my butt cheeks out there know how much I appreciate you and everything that you are doing for me.
Muchas smoochas,
your other butt cheek
(GrrlScientist)

I have been traveling and did not know you had a health issue. Send me an email or something and let me know what is going on!!

I hope you are on the road to recovery.

Wow, I didn't know about your health issue, either. You mentioned something about a problem, but I didn't know it was medical - I thought it was just financial.
Like Dendroica, I hope you're recovering well.

I wish you a speedy recovery.
I assumed you were busy with the start of the school year.

I don't know if this is a good move. I used to think of you when I saw peeps. Now, this is just too weird...
The important thing is that you get better, even if it means being called a butt cheek.

I too thought that you were just buried up to your neck in academic duties. Get well soon.
