Happy Halloween🦇 @Sonja_Vernes from @genomeark discusses the progress of the @bat1kgenomes LIVE at #BG24 Bats are the only mammals capable of flight. Bats are extraordinarily long-lived and are great at resisting diseases (especially viral diseases.)

Agaves rely on migratory #bats to pick up and disperse pollen as they feed to help propagate new plants! Who knows which species of bats have this mutualistic relationship with agave? 🦇🦇



Just a reminder that the Big Bat Genome release is here! Is you are at @NA_bats do come and talk to us today at our poster or join our workshop on Sunday #NASBR #bats #genomes

This is so exciting!!! Years of work have gone into it but we have managed to release a huge @bat1kgenomes milestone! 🎉🎉🎉🦇🦇🦇 #bats #genomes @VernesLab

Paper alert! Our study showing that cerebellar spiking predicts vocalization in bats is online at @CurrentBiology In brief: don't overlook the cerebellum and it's role in vocal production. Not everything has to be neocortex :) 👏 @Shivani_harii cell.com/current-biolog…


Do come and say hi! We will be talking all thjngs @bat1kgenomes including how to access our new data release and how to get your favourite species sequenced!

Are you at NASBR in Guadalajara? Then come and visit our poster tomorrow, @Sonja_Vernes will be presenting on “Bat1K - past, present & future”. Come along and learn everything about Bat1K and where we are at with our data release 🦇

Bat1K would be so happy if you fly by our poster today 🦇🇲🇽 it will be worth it - promise! @Sonja_Vernes @EmmaTeeling1

Even if genome assemblies aren't your thing, today's poster session is a perfect chance to connect with #Bat1K! We're a ~500 member consortium of field biologists, geneticists, and bat enthusiasts, all working together to reach one goal: to sequence and better understand BATS🦇💪🏽



Prof Sonja Vernes, Bat Boffin🦇🌈 Reposted

Exciting news from @rodrigomedellin : bat friendly #tequila will be sold at the conference 😁🦇🇲🇽 .. who already had their first sip of tequila this week? And whenever you have “un caballito”, remember: no bats = no tequila!! 😁
