Scientists have uncovered countless amazing facts about bats, from the mechanics of how they fly to the physics of how they echolocate, but each year new secrets are revealed, and we learn more about what makes these creatures so enigmatic and beautiful. In this 40-minute presentation, bat biologist and TV science expert Dan Riskin will reveal his ten favourite unanswered questions about bats. Dan will use photos, videos, sounds, and stories to bring the biology of bats to life. This event is intended for people of all ages, and will end (weather permitting) with a brief walk outside to search for bats using an ultrasonic bat detector.
Dan Riskin, PhD, is CTV’s Science and Technology Specialist, and the former co-host of Daily Planet on Discovery. He has authored more than 25 scientific papers about bats, specifically the biomechanics of how they move. Each week Dan publishes The Bat Signal, a free newsletter featuring five quirky science stories and a trivia question.
