Tracey Jolliffe - The Secret World of Bats

Bats are the best mammals. That's a fact, and I won't be entertaining any questions on that issue. Want to know why bats are the best? Come along and find out.

Tracey Jolliffe began her working life as a Veterinary Nurse, spending years working in small animal practice, before attending university as a mature student. She gained a BSc in Biomedical Sciences and an MSc in Medical Microbiology. Now working for NHS Scotland as a Biomedical Scientist doing diagnostic microbiology, she has also worked as a Research Scientist in the rabies laboratory at The Animal & Plant Health Agency (DEFRA), and as a Senior Scientist in the Rare & Imported Pathogens Laboratory at Porton Down. She has been caring for sick and injured bats for 25 years, and has attended a residential course on bat care in the USA. She regularly gives talks and leads workshops on bats and bat care, both locally and nationally.
