Bat researchers “hanging out” with some Texas barbecue. So much love! Sadly my talk is tomorrow morning so I’m calling it an early night. Thanks @WildlifeAcoust! #irbc2022

As always I’m so glad I’m not judging student #bat talks, they are so good it would be impossible to choose! #IBRC2022
Was hoping that @thomaslilley77 was going to give us the answer to Myotis phylogeny but nope that puzzle is still waiting for resolution. Perfect opportunity for someone who has buckets of optimism #IBRC2022

Always great to hear an update from @batsborealis even when it’s about #bat declines due to wind energy. Facilities near development had higher mortality. Landscape scale factors matter more than fine scale. #IBRC2022

Hey #sciencetwitter I’ve been quiet here but that’s gonna change. I’m on the way to #ibrc2022 to present a paper I credit to … science twitter! I connected with colleagues right here, and now you can hear about it at the #migration symposium on Thursday.
