I am so incredibly excited to be working with @batsborealis, the mentor that started me down the research career path back when I was a little field tech. It's back to the boreal for me! /|\^..^/|\

As a non-virologist, here are some things I have learned about covid that I would not have guessed before the pandemic. They are super counter-intuitive:

I have reached maximal imposter syndrome. While reviewing a paper: "This seems familiar" Enters reviewer area and sees previous reviews. "Wow reviewer 1 is so in-depth, I've barely written any comments." Realize that *I* was reviewer 1 several months ago. 🤦‍♀️

I introduce myself as Dr. Jonasson when I do middle school outreach talks. It was suggested that it’s because I have a chip on my shoulder, but really it’s because I want those girls to envision themselves with advanced degrees.

Together, we will build a world where the accomplishments of our daughters will be celebrated, rather than diminished.

No apologies for being a kick-ass bat biologist!!! This reminds me that we are around our work, particularly our thesis work for so long that we honestly forget how novel and cool it is! Imposter syndrome happens, kinda like the weather, but it helps to know it’s ubiquitous ;)

Awww thanks KJ! I’m sorry I made you feel it too, but it also makes me feel better, cause I definitely think the same about your work!

Give today! The globally endangered Mexican long-nosed bat needs your help! If their only mating roost is made uninhabitable, it will be catastrophic for this nectar-feeding bat species. Join our effort to #SavetheCaveSavetheBats ➡️ bit.ly/3fvtNx5 #GivingTuesday

A single cave, Cueva del Diablo, just outside Mexico City, is the only mating roost for the globally endangered Mexican long-nosed bat. We need your help to protect this cave from human activity and save these bats from extinction. Join our effort today! bit.ly/3pIifuN

FAT BAT!
The Nature Conservancy in Tennessee@nature_TN18 Nov 2020
We are excited about "Operation Fat Bat," a project pursued in partnership with @BatConIntl aimed at helping bats put on weight based on evidence that bats going into hibernation with higher BMIs are more likely to survive winter and white nose syndrome. #WildlifeWednesday
