The North American Society for Bat Research (NASBR) promotes the study and conservation of bats by facilitating communication and collaboration among scientists, educators, and the general public. The society holds an annual meeting called the North American Symposium on Bat Research, usually in October. Although most attendees reside in North America, the society welcomes participants from all areas of the globe.

News

    • NASBR has issued a statement on unpaid, underpaid, and volunteer technicians. Given the negative impacts of these technician positions on the promotion of diversity, equity, and inclusion in scientific research, NASBR encourages its members to budget for the fair pay of technicians; prioritize requests for proposals that offer funding for the fair pay of technicians; include health insurance in the compensation for technicians; encourage job boards and listservs to end the practice of advertising unpaid, underpaid, and volunteer technician positions; and acknowledge fair and equitable compensation for technicians in their proposals, presentations, and manuscripts. The full statement is available here.
