If you know where microbats (tiny insect eating bats, not the larger, noisy flying foxes) are living in QLD Australia, I want to know! I’m at the begging for help from the public stage of my PhD 🦇 #batresearch #CitizenScience #queenslandscience #australianbats #bats

The Golden-tipped bat is the 2023 Australian Mammal of the Year! This now means that a #bat has won 2 years in a row!! This is HUGE for bringing awareness to Australia’s Chiropteran critters! cosmosmagazine.com/nature/amoty/t…

Always a pleasure watching the fabulous Rachel Lyons teach carers how to rescue and rehabilitate microbats- 85 people in person and over zoom this year! Thanks to Australia Zoo for hosting the workshop.

Had an amazing time at the Australasian Bat Society talking about some of my favourite bat roosts I’ve studied this year 🦇

So excited to get to participate in GBatNet’s important work as a student scholar this year!
