Concisus Vitae

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.

Botlon will step down from his UN ambassadorship soon and now the National Review is supporting Rick Santorum as our next UN Ambassador??

Santorum speaks (He's a rather windy chap, isn't he?).

Well, Hedwig, reading that diatribe confirms what I already suspected: the wrong person is in the asylum!

Darn, I got beat to the asylum joke. Anyway, Bolton stepping down now means that Bush can still attempt to railroad through his choice of replacement before the Republican-led Congress packs it in.

You don't think this could be an attempt to paralyse the UN with laughter, do you?

Santorum? Um...maybe it's a ploy to convince us Bolton's not so bad? It works for me.

pace Elf Eye, but it's the National Review that's hallucinating. Or Bush, if he actually suggested that. Dan Savage hast smote him for all time (links unsafe for the easily offended):
