It was incredible to meet so many old and new colleagues and friends and watching our PhD student, Sauhard Shrivastava give an excellent talk. Overall, we learnt lots and we are certainly returning with more ideas and inspiration. Thank you, #IBRC2025. #LZCI (2/2) @ibrc2025.bsky.social

There were so many great talks at #IBRC2025 and so much going on that I’ve been too busy to post! The conference ended on a high with an inspiring presentation by Tigga Kingston on the mission and achievements of @gbatnet.bsky.social.
Can’t wait til #IBRC2028 in Columbia!

Wow – what an intense and truly amazing 6 days at @ibrc2025.bsky.social! 🦇
Reconnected with old friends, made new ones, and had incredible conversations — all in the spirit of bat conservation and research.
Huge shoutout to the organizers for a perfectly run event! 🙌💙

I had an excellent time at #IBRC2025 hosting the comparative immunology sessions and co-presenting our work on bat antiviral immunity with Dr. Irving at the Bat1K symposium. (1/2)
The unwarranted denial of travel visas for 8 respected international bat researchers was a shameful and embarrassing start to the International Bat Research Conference in Cairns. Well done to the ABS and Guardian for highlighting it
