We are hiring a field assistant for Summer 2022 working on bats in Newfoundland, see the posting for more details!
We're looking for grad students! Contact us about a range of bat-related projects in Canada. More info about some of our ongoing projects at uwaterloo.ca/broders-lab
Bat people - I have a sci-comm opportunity that is built around pollination. If you're a grad student working on bats that pollinate, or just really into them, DM me and I'll flip you some info. It pays a small honorarium. Please retweet.
We had a great lab meeting today discussing research from @SungaJu and @AdamGrottoli! It's been a while since we've been able to get together but virtual lab meetings let us be together in spirit #LabMeeting #VirtualMeeting #GradResearch #Bats
Congrats again to @AdamGrottoli for making it into the GRADFlix Finals! Check out the video to learn about his work on "Bats and methylmercury". @WaterlooBio @WaterlooSci #scicomm
The latest IUCN Red List is a stark reminder of how bat species around the world face increasing threats with each passing year. In this update, 15 bat species have been reclassified as #endangered, signaling urgency for action to protect #bats before it's too late. #RedList

COVID restrictions have affected a lot of scientific research this year and @AH_Sauk shared some of the impacts felt by our lab with @EntCollNet #ECN2020

Can we just stop for a minute and say just how COOL vampire bats are? Truly a misunderstood mammal. They have behaviours and biology that are simply marvellous.

Happy Halloween everyone! Hope you have a batty good time!
To celebrate #BatWeek2020 our partners at @albertabats collaborated with a local graphics designer to create the Alberta Bats Colouring & Activity Book. Download a copy from albertabats.ca/.../ACBP_Bat_A…!
Next time you visit @ROMtoronto, check out the fossil bats on display. The two species date to 52 mya: Onychonycteris - who could fly but not echolocate - and Icaronycteris - who could both fly and echolocate #BatWeek2020 #FossilFriday rom.on.ca/en/about-us/ne…
Sometimes fall migration doesn't go well and you get trapped in a building. Fortunately this Silver-haired Bat from NW Alberta was rescued and got some food and water before release. Could these have the cutest yawn in the animal world? #yawn #naturevideo youtu.be/23Mtxl0LG5c
Please remember, conservation of old, large trees with cavities and peeling park or high canopies is important for the majority of our bat species. #BatWeek2020 #BeBatFriendly #TreesForBats
If you’ve witnessed a fatal bird collision, record it on the @FLAPCanada Global Bird Mapper app. Follow this link to explore the data and add yours: bit.ly/31aJsgb
#ThrowbackThursday We had a great time last year at @NA_bats in Kalamazoo, sharing our research and learning about bats with everyone. We hope all our friends and colleagues are staying safe and we'll see you in Tempe next year!
