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.

Jack is now totally confused, trying to work out where those cats were. They weren't in the speaker, or on the scanner, or the hi-fi. I think he's concluded that they were in my bag, and aren't coming out.
My phone can record video, so I'll watch them again later. :-)

Grrr. Neither video is available any more. Ah well, at least Jack won't be disturbed.

As a genetically predisposed to love cats person, I thought it was good! Cats are Cool!

hmmm... the human voices make me uncomfortable.

We love this video! Yes the human translation voices, a bit on the creepy side, but still cute.
Thanks for joining in the CotC this weekend!
