Autor

Behavioral ecologist and science communicator Alyson F. Brokaw’s professional passion is communicating about the diversity and biology of bats, as well as combating myths that they are scary or dangerous. Her affinity for these amazing creatures led her to study how they use their sense of smell during hunting and social communication as she earned her PhD in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology from Texas A&M University. Since then, she has studied wildlife around the world, including Mexico, Belize, Panama, Argentina, and Tanzania, while also publishing multiple articles in peer-reviewed journals on bat behavior and other topics. She is a narrator for March Mammal Madness and an active science communicator on social media (where her handle is @alyb_batgirl). When not talking your ear off about bats, she can be found chasing down discs on the ultimate frisbee field, cuddling with her dog, or with her nose buried deep in a fantasy novel.
