In a Wellcome meeting this week I encouraged Wellcome to ensure that one outcome of the workshop in Cape Town, South Africa - later this April, promotes sequencing African species on-the-ground in Africa. Let's normalise it. Let's commit to it. Let's make it happen at scale

🦇🦇
Always happy to see bats in the good light 😌
Wonderful meeting & glad to be part of such initiatives. Thanks Sreehari R, KAU wildlab Balakrishnan Peroth & the entire team for making this happen.
Was a nice opportunity to catch up with Rohit Chakravarty @paru_venugopal after a while

Excited to announce our new #openaccess paper in press at The Anatomical Record describing a preovipositional embryonic specimen of the legless #gecko #Lialis ! #GeckoEvoDevo #diceCT #BurtonsLeglessLizard

Collab w: Ed Stanley and Daniel J Paluh

My first time seeing an all 🚺 panel of keynote speakers & so proud it's at a bat conference! 👏🦇 #EBRS2024
For Women in Science Bat1k Genome Project Bat Conservation International

We are hiring a postdoc to join the ERC project NOVELTEETH aiming to understand the origin and diversication of mammalian tooth classes using #bats as a model system at isem - comparative transcriptomics and dev bio - Please RT! emploi.cnrs.fr/Offres/CDD/UMR…

Attention 🦇🧬!! New bat genomes out now!! Check out our new sequences for the Brazilian free-tailed bat (tinyurl.com/b9pphhkm from Cara Webster and
MikeSmotherman) and Daubenton's bat (tinyurl.com/msdz933r from Manuel Ruedi)!

Bat1k Genome Project Prof Sonja Vernes, Bat Boffin🦇🌈 The recording studio is being re-designed by our behavioural team (@SashaNewar and Sixue Li) to record bat vocalizations - it was originally built by Dr. EZ Lattenkamp! In the meantime - we have a rubber bat and a speaker playing social calls for the kids to listen to!

We are curious about the bat recording studio NVC group Prof Sonja Vernes, Bat Boffin🦇🌈 ?? 👀

Sonja Vernes’ lab University of St Andrews doing some cool outreach 😍🦇 bats, bats, bats!! School of Biology

Alexa Sadier Bat1k Genome Project Bat Biology Foundation isem Just like Centurio senex...

Sweet spot for Phyllops. They have this intriguing transparent membrane which is part of their wings between the second and third fingers.

Bitty tiny Phyllops falcatus! Such an extreme flat face (and cool teeth). This particular one will contribute the genome Bat1k Genome Project Bat Biology Foundation 🦇 and delivers his species secrets!

No need to talk about how cool the Vernes lab is, but look how beautiful St Andrews is too….. have a look at the vacancy!!

Bats are a part of urban wildlife. These northern and Daubenton's bats are hibernating in the underground structures of Helsingin kaupunki Our member, Tanya Troitsky, studies the structure of the skin microbiome in hibernating bats. Cool stuff! 🥶Life Sciences University of Helsinki Luomus

First fieldwork from isem 🤩 with the support of Bat Biology Foundation 🦇🦇🦇 we will catch bat species that are not sequenced yet and advance our research on bat teeth diversification! Bat1k Genome Project #bat #genome

Alexa Sadier and her team are finally on their way to the Dominican Republic for their #BBF funded fieldwork! 🥳 stay tuned, this is going to be SO great!! 🦇🌎. SearsLab, isem 💪
