A privilege to learn from so many leading bat biologists today at #ICCB2023. Research is expanding 🙌🏼but our biggest joint challenge remains: how do we spread the message of evidence- based importance of bats to policy makers and communities?

Our student scholarship program allowed Eric to switch his research to bats and now he runs one of the only bat focused academic labs in West Africa. He’s a collaborator on projects in Guinea and some of his students have been our student scholars! bit.ly/3oDmms1

“In an age of extinction, a discovery like this offers a glimmer of hope—It's a spectacular animal—It has this bright-orange fur, and because it was so distinct, that led us to realise it was not described before”—Winifred Frick @FrickWinifred @BatConIntl independent.co.uk/news/scien…
