Now on ScienceBlogs: Rethinking cancer screening?
"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.

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)

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.
