Now on ScienceBlogs: Oxytocin: Starting with the basics
"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.

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!

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!
