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
ALT Black text on white page stating "Opportunities for Graduate School working on the bats The Broders lab at the University of Waterloo is looking to recruit bright, creative, self-motivated students who are passionate about research and we are keen to receive applications from all qualified individuals. If you are interested in pursuing graduate studies in our lab and are a hard-working self-starter, with a passion for wildlife biology we are interested in having a conversation. We are seeking potential graduate students for opportunities to study various aspects of the ecology of bats in Canada. Programs will involve fieldwork in Ontario and Atlantic Canada. If interested please reach out to Hugh Broders with a cover letter, CV and a copy of your transcripts. Website: https://uwaterloo.ca/broders-lab/ Email: [email protected]"

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.
Dr. Lauren Esposito (@ArachnologyNerd) is talking to us about their research on scorpions and venom as part of @WaterlooBio seminars. Why do scorpions have venom that affects mammals? Some are in arms races against mammal predators, including Pallid bats! 🦂🦇

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
Bat Bugs and Viruses: @AH_Sauk shares her research on bat ectoparasites and how her work, in both the field and lab, was completely halted by COVID restrictions.

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.

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

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
