Meet our Scientist: Rachel Page is not afraid of the dark

Meet Rachel Page, a Smithsonian scientist in Panama who studies frog-eating bats (fringe-lipped bats), among other topics.

Her current research focuses on learning and memory in neotropical bats, combining field studies with laboratory experiments to learn about predator cognition and its effects on the evolution of their prey.

See Rachel’s lab here. Read more about Rachel’s work.
