In order to be able to talk digitally about various topics related to parasites, the spread of pathogens, global health and our relationship with nature, we will start with our event series on the 20th of April. We will address current issues relating to the coronavirus and the transmission from animals to humans. At each Live Talk we will have a scientist as a guest to talk about their work and answer your questions.
We look forward to introducing to you the scientist Dr. Mirjam Knörnschild. Mirjam is head of the working group Behavioural Ecology & Bioacoustics at our museum and would like to overcome the image problem of bats, together with you! Find out why these intelligent animals are anything but dangerous virus transmitter and what important role they play not only in our ecosystem but also in basic medical research.
