SciPubADL - Bats

Have you ever stopped on a walk through Botanic Park to watch the flying foxes overhead? Bats are some of Australia's most fascinating but perhaps misunderstood animals, with bats playing vital roles in our ecosystems. From the familiar mega bats soaring across Adelaide’s skyline at dusk to the more secretive microbats living quietly among us, this event will explore the world of bats and will even include a talk on guano (bat poop).

We are thrilled to introduce our panel for this event.

Panel:

Dr Tiah Bampton– Adelaide University

Nicola Bail– PhD candidate, Adelaide University

Dr Kyle Armstrong – Adelaide University.

Please join us on Friday 29th of May at the Adelaide Irish Club (13-15 Carrington St, Adelaide). The event starts at 6:00 pm and will finish by approximately 7:30 pm. Doors will open at 5:30 pm. All drinks are to be purchased at the bar but guests are welcome to bring their own snacks/food. Attendance is free, but please register so we can advise the venue and set up the seating. We recommend arriving early to secure your preferred seating.

New to SciPub? Wondering what we are about?
The principal goal of SciPubAdelaide is to make science engaging and accessible to the public. Each panel consists of three experts who deliver 10-15 minute presentations on their area in an engaging and non-technical manner and then open up to questions from the audience via a moderator. SciPubAdelaide is held in a pub so that scientists, aspiring scientists, and non-scientists can learn, discuss and think critically about hot topics in science. Everyone is welcome!
