From Escobar Lab, we congratulate Laura for her hard work during two scientific expeditions in Colombia alongside our team. Her dedication and hard work have led to the publication of her first scientific paper 📝 👏👏
Congrats @lauraavila422 🥳🥳🥳

Did you know that not all bats face winter in the same way? 🦇❄️
.
Some, hibernate in warm, dark shelters, reducing their metabolism to a minimum to survive the cold. Others, adapt to the cold and stay active, foraging for food even when temperatures drop🥶
.
Which team are you on? The hibernators or the ones that are really tolerant to the cold? 🫢 🦇
