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.

I have a pin oak and it was planted 6 years ago in my back yard. The leaves are yellowish with brown spots on them. Last year they had me put Bayer liquid fertilizer that you mixrd with water and it was good for a year. This year I got another oppinion and he had me put ironite down because of no green and was in acidic soil. He said this will green it up. It gets plenty of water since I have in ground irrigation system in place. I just layed the ironite down 1 week ago. Thought I would write to get another oppinion.
