Congratulations @sajeshksv !
Congratulations @sajeshksv !
Super-excited to be working on a cool project with @NatashaMhatre 🐝🔊! And all the more happier that our proposal has been selected for the HFSP award this year 🥳!
We congratulate Dr Sajesh Vijayan @sajeshksv a recent PhD graduate from the @BEElab_iisertvm for winning the coveted HFSP postdoctoral fellowship to carry out his postdoctoral work @westernuBio. @tvmiiser
Prof. Raghavendra Gadagkar @ragh_gadagkar was the external examiner for Sajesh's defense. He interacted for hours with students who hung on to every word of advice, his experience and his critical comments.
We congratulate @sajeshksv on successfully defending his Ph.D thesis on the #VisualEcology of the giant honeybee #Apisdorsata. We are very happy for you Dr. Sajesh, may you guide many more bee-enthusiasts. He is currently pursuing a post-doc in @NatashaMhatre lab.
We have Prof. Raghavendra Gadagkar (@ragh_gadagkar), CES, IISc Bangalore on campus for our institute colloquium, on the topic "Can we understand an Insect Society?" Prof. Raghavendra is an honorary professor at CES and studies the origin and evolution of cooperation in animals.
𝘈𝘱𝘪𝘴 𝘥𝘰𝘳𝘴𝘢𝘵𝘢 is a honeybee that can forage at night when the moon is at least half-full. But can they see colour at night? We explored this in our paper, out now in @RSocPublishing doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2… Here is a short explainer of what we found 🧵 1/12
Yes! We are very proud of you Bahee. Congratulations on your graduation and we wish you all success.
Yes! We are very proud of you Bahee. Congratulations on your graduation and we wish you all success.
