Veronica Angelelli Brown
Veronica Angelelli Brown received her Master’s Degree in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology from the University of Tennessee, using molecular ecology techniques to study the diets of bats. She has worked in biology labs at UT since 2001, becoming the Next Generation Sequencing Project Specialist at the UT Genomics Core in 2016. She specializes in library preparation and training students in high-throughput sequencing lab techniques. She has also participated in bat and conservation related outreach to school and nature groups for over 20 years, through groups such as Zoo Knoxville’s Boo at the Zoo and the Great Smoky Mountain Wildflower Pilgrimage, and is now the leader of the annual Teacher Workshop, the outreach for the North American Society for Bat Research (NASBR).

Aja Sherman is a bat biologist, specialized in taxonomy, data mining, and conservation education. Aja started her career as a zookeeper and then a scientific assistant at the American Museum of Natural History. Aja has an undergraduate degree in Psych/Bio and a master’s degree in Biology from Long Island University. Her graduate thesis explored ancestral state reconstructions based on chiropteran hip morphology. After completing her education, Aja went on to direct the education and animal care teams for the Organization for Bat Conservation before the organization folded in 2018. Since then, she has been involved in several bat research collaborations. Aja often instructs college Biology courses and has been a leading member of the North American Society for Bat Research (NASBR) Education and Outreach Committee since 2019. Aja started gathering bat roosting data in 2021 for the COVID-19 Task Force Co-Roosting Project before becoming the Database Curator for the Bat Eco-Interactions Project in 2022.

Dana green
Dana Green is a bat ecologist specializing in migration biology, community ecology, behavioral
physiology and conservation biology. While she has worked with a variety of mammals, bats
have always been a focus and she has worked with North American species since 2013. She
earned her Masters degree from Northern Arizona University, and then moved to Canada for her
PhD work which focused on the ecology and physiology of migratory bats. She is a vocal
advocate for the conservation of migratory species and the major issues surrounding their
population declines. Along with her love of research, Dana is a science communicator both on
social media and in the classroom. She loves to share her knowledge of wildlife and also help
students of all levels navigate becoming a biologist or related fields.
