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 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.

Ant species (but which one, Alex?)
as portrayed in tiles on the walls of the West 77th street entrance to the NYC subway stop (A-B-C)
at 81st and Central Park West. (ISO, no zoom, no flash).

The ants run away ..

Read more about the AMNH tile artworks and see the AMNH tile artworks photographic archives -- with all the animals identified.


Thus ends the AMNH subway art series. In short, I photographed all of the tile mosaics (uptown-bound platform, entrances and stairways), several bronze fossil casts (downtown-bound platform), and one or two floor tiles (uptown platform). There is plenty more to see and photograph there, however, so don't think you've seen it all. Further, many of these mosaics are fun to touch, too, which is part of the fun of seeing these works in real life. I hope you enjoyed this collection of images as much as I enjoyed taking them and sharing them with you!

I will present another the tile mosaic artwork from another NYC subway platform for you to enjoy beginning tomorrow, so stay tuned to see which one I chose!
