TURN IT OFF!!?? Teaching staff at Bangor University have had their latest research on navigation in published in Science magazine! More here https://www.bangor.ac.uk/news/2026-05-29-research-sheds-light-on-disruptive-impact-of-electromagnetic-noise-pollution-on-bat or read the paper here; https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adq4418
"Radiofrequency, or electromagnetic, noise naturally occurs in the atmosphere, but it has increased substantially due to human activities, being produced by electronics, power lines, and even LED lights. The impacts of such noise on wildlife and humans is often debated and is yet to be understood. Lindecke et al. looked at the impacts of relatively weak broadband radiofrequency fields on migratory soprano pipistrelle bats and found that it disrupted their orientation even hours after exposure. The results suggest that the ever-present din of our devices may be having a bigger effect than was previously thought." Dr William Schneider and Prof Richard Holland are part of our teaching staff and also the Bangor navigation research team. Still time to join us! Bangor University International https://www.bangor.ac.uk/news/2026-05-29-research-sheds-light-on-disruptive-impact-of-electromagnetic-noise-pollution-on-bat

The study, published in the journal, Science, and led by researchers at Bangor University, the University of Latvia and the University of Oldenburg, in Germany, has revealed unexpected effects of exposure to electromagnetic noise that is an ever-present feature of urban environments.
