New paper out! 🚨 We show that vampire bats use amino acids from a recent blood meal to fuel RUNNING - a rare mode of locomotion in bats ideal for stalking prey. I’d worry less about your neck and more about your ankles! 🧛🏻‍♂️ @WelchLab_UTSC @RSocPublishing

We've got a bunch of paid work coming up through July and August for people who can ID Japanese bats from audio. For more info see this link:

Election tomorrow.

FIND YOUR PHOTO ID.

PUT IT IN YOUR POCKET OR BAG.

The address DOESN'T need to match your constituency or current address. This is just to prove your ID.

Passport, driving license, PASS card or Voter Certificate, or this stuff:

Academia: Come on in! I'm a loophole in the universe where you can spend your days reading, thinking & studying crazy ideas. Nothing you try has to work or be useful, just have fun!
Academics: no thank you we prefer boring safe projects with a high likelihood of being published
