Emma Teeling

Prof Emma Teeling, head of Zoology at UCD is my guest on the podcast this week. Emma talks about her fascinating research into bats and how uncovering the bat genome may unlock the secrets to health and longevity. Emma discusses how studying bats can impact human health by examining their mechanisms of ageing and inflammation, her field trips to Brittany in France and how bats have undeservedly become the scapegoats of COVID-19. She also discusses growing up in an entrepreneurial household, how being a scientist is like being an elite Olympian and the curiosity that drives her very obvious passion for what she does.

S2 Ep 5 Sneak Peek: Prof. Emma Teeling on bats and the fountain of youth by Dr. Vivian Thomson

Dr. Richard Collins meets up with Professor Emma Teeling from the School of Biology and Environmental Science at Trinity College Dublin to talk about her research into bats.

In Western society, bats are often characterized as creepy, even evil. Zoologist Emma Teeling encourages us to rethink common attitudes toward bats, whose unique and fascinating biology gives us insight into our own genetic makeup.

Na sociedade ocidental, os morcegos são frequentemente retratados como seres assustadores e até mesmo malignos. A zoóloga Emma Teeling nos motiva a repensar nossa postura em relação aos morcegos, cuja biologia especial e fascinante nos oferece uma reflexão sobre nossa própria composição genética.

В западном обществе летучие мыши часто описываются как жуткие создания и часто ассоциируются со злом. Зоолог Эмма Тилинг призывает нас переосмыслить наше отношение к летучим мышам, чья уникальная и очаровательная природа позволяет нам понять, в чём секрет нашего собственного генетического строения. (Снято в TEDxDublin)

In der westlichen Welt werden Fledermäuse häufig als unheimlich, ja sogar teuflisch beschrieben. Die Zoologin Emma Teeling ermuntert zu einem Umdenken unserer Einstellung gegenüber Fledermäusen, deren einzigartige und faszinierende Biologie tiefe Einblicke in unser eigenes Erbgut erlaubt. (Eine Aufnahme im Rahmen von TEDxDublin.)

En la sociedad occidental, los murciélagos normalmente son caracterizados como horripilantes, incluso diabólicos. La zoóloga Emma Teeling nos alienta a reflexionar sobre nuestra actitud hacia los murciélagos, cuya única y fascinante biología aporta ideas sobre nuestra composición genética.
