Researchers used to think most bats roosted only in the forest or in human structures. But collaborations with rock climbers reveal much more about the small mammals. https://t.co/SC2gLd35ok

[The Nobel Prize @NobelPrize]

Statement from the Nobel Foundation

One of the core missions of the Nobel Foundation is to safeguard the dignity of the Nobel Prizes and their administration. The Foundation upholds Alfred Nobel’s will and its stipulations. It states that the prizes shall be awarded to those who "have conferred the greatest benefit to humankind," and it specifies who has the right to award each respective prize. A prize can therefore not, even symbolically, be passed on or further distributed.

For additional information, please refer to the Norwegian Nobel Committee: https://t.co/HqL1ZR8Bos

While I'm excited to get a fiber internet option in my neighborhood, I'm not happy to see the illegal removal and killing of bats by @IqFiber. Reported this to them only to be told the bats were already dead (they weren't). @MyFWC #gnv #Gainesville #gainesvillefl #iqfiber
