Bats are a hot topic right now in light of COVID-19, but anyone working on them will tell you these are some of the most misunderstood mammals. Thankfully Dr. Susan Tsang is an expert and she sat down with us to talk about her favorite pollinators. Yes, just like the birds and the bees, we should be including bats among the organisms that help transfer seeds.

Listen in, or this time watch(!) to hear more about Susan’s field of biogeography (the study of where things live), conservation, and how her science is affected by the current crisis.
You can carry on the conversation with Susan on Twitter using her handle @batgirl_susan.

This COVID-19 event is our first trip into livestream events. We’d like to thank Susan for joining us, and to our audience for joining the conversation.
