Hi all,
We are back with another fun, exciting and thrilling session with *Dr
Nitika Sharma.*
*About the speaker: *
Dr Nitika Sharma's work involves extensive studies on the social behaviour
of animals. She pursued her Bachelors in Zoology from *Hindu College, the
University of Delhi* in 2011, during which, she interned with *Delhi Greens
and Greenpeace India.* She then did her Master’s in environmental studies
from *TERI School of Advanced Studies* and while studying, she also
interned with *World Wildlife Fund-India.* In WWF, she was involved in
socio-economic analysis and mapping of two elephant corridors in
Uttarakhand. In 2013, she secured her *Junior Research Fellowship from
Wildlife Institute of India* and continued with the same project for a year.
The year after she began her journey of pursuing a *PhD from the Indian
Institute of Sciences,* Bangalore (*advisor:** Prof. Raghavendra Gadagkar*).
For her PhD, she studied the spatial organisation of tropical paper wasps
on their nests. Currently, she is onto her *Post-doctorate studies at the
University of California* (*advisor:** of Dr Pinter-Wollman*) and is
working on deriving the social interaction networks of Eurasian Griffon
vultures from long-term GPS spatial data in the Israel population.
