Monday, November 11 2024, 12 - 1pm UGA Laboratory of Archaeology, 1125 E. Whitehall Road Lab of Archaeology Lecture Series The next Grab'd lunch will be Monday, November 11th, at 12 PM. It will be BYO Lunch at the UGA Laboratory of Archaeology, 1125 E. Whitehall Road. Our presenter is going to be Anecia Gentles. Her research centers around the intersection of bats and humans in Madagascar. Four endemic bat species of Madagascar are known to almost exclusively roost in buildings in the Eastern Highlands. Due to the high zoonotic potential of bats, the risk of spillover is exacerbated by cohabitation. Anecia's study sought to understand how Malagasy people perceive their chiropteran neighbors and the risk of illness. We have one more Grab'd Lunch left this semester for December, and we do have a presenter lined up. If you are interested in presenting at a Grab'd Lunch in the Spring, you are welcome to shoot me an email (cauerb@uga.edu). Anecia and her team One of Anecia's chiropteran study participants
