[FRIAM] Collective sensemaking

[Barry MacKichan]

I did a fair amount of spelunking in my undergraduate days. While I 
occasionally encountered a solitary bat, most bats that I’m familiar 
with hang cheek to jowl in vast crowds. In caves, which you could fairly 
describe as “inside”. To answer BW: No, not suspicious at all.

*The Sixth Extinction* by Elizabeth Colbert has a chapter about an 
infection racing through bat populations in the US.
