Our first outreach event of the summer! We were delighted to partner with @suttontrust to introduce students to bat science at @univofstandrews! Most of the lab made it out to talk about their realm of biology and connect with students through short activity stations!
We covered neurobiology (@SHoerpel and Alexa), genetics (Nikita and Case), histology (@KAnneHamilton), behaviour (Alice), animal care (@IneAvT), and ecology and conservation (@SashaNewar)! Thank you to Sixue for taking and editing the photos!!

Does the question "Which bat species aligns with my zodiac sign?" keep you up at night? Well, you're not alone. Thankfully, we have answers. More details are in our latest blog post. batcon.org/whats-your-bat-si…

Always happy to see bats in the good light 😌
Wonderful meeting & glad to be part of such initiatives. Thanks @batsinghats @wildlabkfri @baluperoth & the entire team for making this happen.
Was a nice opportunity to catch up with @paintedbat @paru_venugopal after a while
We're a little late, but it was such a treat to meet with @girlscouts at the @DundeeSciCentre yesterday to celebrate women in STEM on #IWD2024!!

Zoological illustrations from days gone by are fantastic. Cannot. Get. Enough. Of. These. Yes, we are #ScienceGeeks who love #BatArt
@albertabats @bats_ukraine #BatsInArt
Zoological atlases of the 18th and 19th centuries are full of stunning #bat illustrations; scientists were often accomplished graphic artists.

Enjoyed the 'How to Raise Your Fund' session by @yaksi_emre at the @FensKavliNet @FENSorg #leadership Workshop. It was fun sharing my experiences on aligning '#corevalues & #TimeManagement'. Thanks to @cgillebert and @MeitalOren for organizing it. Lovely to meet all the PIs!

Bats are mostly hibernating now but if you're wondering where to do some bat watching when they wake up do check this page for some helpful tips: buff.ly/3ulMq2f . You could have bats right on your doorstep, you just need to know where/when to look buff.ly/3OxuKaH
