FAT BAT!

A single cave, Cueva del Diablo, just outside Mexico City, is the only mating roost for the globally endangered Mexican long-nosed bat. We need your help to protect this cave from human activity and save these bats from extinction. Join our effort today! bit.ly/3pIifuN

Give today! The globally endangered Mexican long-nosed bat needs your help! If their only mating roost is made uninhabitable, it will be catastrophic for this nectar-feeding bat species. Join our effort to #SavetheCaveSavetheBats ➡️ bit.ly/3fvtNx5 #GivingTuesday

As a non-virologist, here are some things I have learned about covid that I would not have guessed before the pandemic. They are super counter-intuitive:

I am so incredibly excited to be working with @batsborealis, the mentor that started me down the research career path back when I was a little field tech. It's back to the boreal for me! /|\^..^/|\
