What do bats, tequila, and light pollution have to do with one another? Find out the interconnectedness of these three seemingly unrelated things in this conversation with Dr. Tanja Straka. Dr. Straka is an urban ecologist with a focus on bats at the Technische Universität Berlin, Institute of Ecology. Her research focuses on light pollution, urban bats, and more generally, how urban areas can be shared between people and wildlife. You’ll have to listen to find out how tequila fits into this mix.
