Blood Buddies: Jerry Wilkinson Interviewed on Radiolab on Vampire Bat Research
Tue, Dec 28, 2010
How can goodness and self-sacrifice thrive in a world that Darwin tells us ought to favor selfishness? In a Radiolab segment,
Jerry Wilkinson,
professor and chair of biology, shares what he discovered in his work
with vampire bats. The research originated decades ago after he
attended a course as a graduate student with Organization for Tropical
Studies (OTS): he applied for and received one of their post-course
student grants to get this research started. UMD is a member of the OTS
consortium, sending students on their courses for 25+ years.
