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!

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…

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.

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
