3 day programme has exciting blend of keynotes from leading experts, interactive chalk talks by BatProtect researchers from across consortium & group discussions focusing on new methods, opportunities and future research planning. Day 1 focuses on Longitudinal Omics/Metadata

BatProtect - 3 day programme kicked off by Björn Schumacher Followed by first keynote of the day from #StevenAustad on Methuselah's Zoo: what nature can teach us about living longer, healthier lives

Part of our programme is Interactive Chalk talks and Theme 1 is on longitudinal sampling, biomarker & repair by #SebastienRiquier, #MaggieWeber, #IlzeSkujina & #MarekUvizl Such a refreshing approach and aids discussion better than than typical PowerPoint 😀

Afternoon kicked off by #GeraldWilkinson: Comparative studies of bat aging using DNA methylation Theme 2 chalk talks: DREAM & repair #ArturoBujarrabal-Dueso, #NajaEckert & #XuanjingLi Keynote by #SonjaVernes: Understanding bat adaptations by studying a captive bat colony

Is it better to have children early or later in life, and does parenthood speed up ageing? A new study from University College Dublin offers has tackled these questions with some help from Greater horseshoe bats. 🦇 Researchers found that reproducing early in life carries
