About this event
Science on the Rocks: Microplastics in Big Brown Bats
📍 Weyman, Highlands Biological Station
Kick off the Science on the Rocks series with Grant-in-Aid researcher Rachel Price for a relaxed conversation about microplastics in Big Brown Bats and the influence of urbanization.
Rachel’s research explores whether county-level urbanization is associated with the presence of microplastics in bat organs, offering a closer look at how human activity may leave traces in wildlife in unexpected ways.
Come curious, bring your questions, and join us for an informal evening of science and conversation at HBS.
