Her research expertise focuses on wildlife technology, where she has used bioacoustics to research urban bats in London's small parks. Uncovering a love for these wonderful, and often overlooked, flying mammals led to her establishing our bat walks in 2024. Since then, she has been on a mission to change public perceptions of bats and get people involved in their conservation along the way.Scarlet ForresterScarlet has a BA in English and an MSc in Psychology from the University of Exeter. Once graduating, she used her scientific background to merge science and communication, working as an explainer at the Science Museum before joining the Linnean Society. Her interests lie in animal behaviour, ranging from studying Chimpanzees in Sierra Leone to understanding the impact of urbanisation on bats in London.-------------------------------------------------------------------------Lead photo " in flight" by Barracuda 1983 on Wikipedia.

Founded in 1788, the Society takes its name from the Swedish naturalist Carl Linnaeus (1707–1778) whose botanical, zoological and library collections have been in its keeping since 1829. As it moves into its third century the Society continues to play a central role in the documentation of the world’s flora and fauna – as Linnaeus himself did – recognising the continuing importance of such work to biodiversity conservation.Members are drawn from all walks of life, and represent the full range of professional scientists and amateurs alike with an interest in natural history. The Fellowship is international and includes world leaders in each branch of biology who use the Society's premises and publications to communicate new advances in their fields." } ] } ] ```
