SciCafe: Seeing Bats

Join curator Nancy Simmons and postdoctoral fellow Abigail Curtis, from the Museum’s Department of Mammalogy, for an exciting journey inside the world (and bodies!) of bats. Often small in size and difficult to study, these amazing mammals are known for many remarkable qualities including powered flight, echolocation, and diverse feeding strategies. Using CT-scanning technology, Simmons and Curtis are taking a new look at bat skeletons from their wings to their skulls, and using digital images to explore questions about their evolution and adaptations.

Free with RSVP.
