Science Pub Series #9 - Halloween has never sounded better!

BOO! Bats have evolved the remarkable ability to use sound as a successful alternative to vision through “echolocation.” Celebrate Halloween with us as we learn about this incredible ability.

Dr. Alan Grinnell (UCLA), one of the pioneers in the field, will describe the versatility of bats, their different echolocation strategies, and the neural adaptations that enable their auditory nervous systems to extract the information they need from echoes. Much has been learned about the mechanisms of echolocation and their application to the scientific field, but major challenges remain. Join us for what will be a batacular event!

Dr. Grinnell received his B.A. (1958) and PhD (1962) from Harvard and was a Junior Fellow (1959-62). After 2 years postdoctoral work at University College London, he joined the UCLA faculty, where he is now a Distinguished Professor in the Departments of Physiology and Integrative Biology and Physiology and an Associate Dean of Life Sciences.
