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).

Sara, one of my good friends at YellowIbis science t-shirts, sent me some ScienceWear for my London visit! By the way, don't you just love their company name? Anyway, I had to show you the t-shirt I asked for because it's so .. science-y! How can you resist such a wonderful shirt? (Yes, I know, Saint Paddy's Day is long gone, but I am preparing early for next year). I also got two cotton totes (with different designs, one design is pictured above) to carry groceries, so I no longer am faced with the familiar "paper or plastic?" dilemma! Not only that, but I am bringing one tote to London to carry my laptop around -- yes, it's that big and strong! If you are in the EU, you have your own shop where you can purchase shirts and other items so you too can be at the peak of science fashion at the EuroScienceBlogging conference!

And here I thought I'd be reading that you're going to wear oscilloscope-screen lenses on your sunglasses, test-tube earrings, radio-astronomy horn clogs, fig-leaf underwear, etc., and it turns out to be just ordinary clothes with a science motif! I'm soooo disappointed!
