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).

This is a new blog carnival, Doing It Differently, which just published its fifth edition. This blog carnival is devoted to the concept of stepping outside of the box and living our lives "beyond the norm". Whether you want to learn unique ways to think or act differently, or if you want to share your own unique ideas, this carnival is for you! There are ten essays that range from topics such as "The Lap Dancer Who Changed My Life" to "How I Lifted Fifty Pounds With My Mind". They also included a contribution from me, of course, so go over there to give them some support.
