Abstract:

Congratulations to Souvik Mandal for winning the best poster award
at "The XIV Congress of the European Society of Evolutionary Biology" held
at Lisbon.

Souvik Mandal is a PhD student in the lab of Prof. Raghavendra Gadagkar.
His research work involves asking questions on how far do wasps fly from
their nests and how do they return home. He is using a primitively eusocial
wasp species, Ropadalia Marginata, for his studies.
