"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 relocated to Germany at the end of November 2009, where she will (hopefully) write a book while continuing to write her blog and providing much hilarity to the natives by learning to speak 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 organization or write articles for your publication (or by clicking on the Paypal button below).

If the previous video wasn't enough to make you laugh, then this one will do the trick. Silly, funny, fun, but .. is there a meaning to this?
Or maybe I should instead have entitled this "Ladybug pwns Dragonflies"?

I hope you will like my video of "Grasshoppers At The Smithsonian with The North Carolina Governor's School West 2009." The behaviors are WILD and the music is AMAZING!
I have been filming (videotaping) dragonflies and wildlife for nine years. I have developed a most unusal habitat and even a relationship with the dragonflies and lizards that populate this particular area. I have recorded some incredible behaviors and interactions with humans. Due to computer and camera issues, and a bout with encephalitis, I ...have only recently been able to start uploading my edited videos to YouTube. This is my first "finished" short project. My daughter, Alexandra Smith, attended The North Carolina Governor's School West in the summer of 2009 and sang with this chorus. The North Carolina Governor's School provides a summer enrichment program for gifted teenagers. If you would like to see a hint what I am attempting to accomplish with the dragonflies, watch and listen carefully to the end-the last insects are bizarre.
