We had a great time this summer studying cave bats ecosystem services in Gunung Mulu National Park, in Borneo.

George and I went to Costa Rica in June to start a pilot project understanding the energetic costs of social communication during daily foraging in the spix’s disc-winged bat.

We also visited the Poas volcano. One of the most active volcanoes in the country.
