PhD student of DBS Mr. Manish Pathak working with Prof. Sumana Annagiri, has just secured funding worth $1000 for an outreach activity

Mr. Manish Pathak, who is a senior PhD student working with Prof. Sumana Annagiri, has just secured funding worth $1000 for an outreach activity. This grant will enhance two other grants that he and some other students have received earlier from the European Society of Evolutionary Biology and The Society for the Study of Evolution, both highly reputed international bodies. Together, the three grants sum up to about Rs. 4 lakhs, which is being utilised by them to conduct a three-phase outreach program to enhance the understanding and teaching of evolution for school teachers from Jharkhand and West Bengal. Let us applaud this effort by Manish and the other students of the Ant and Dog labs.
