Sofía Meléndez Cartagena, M.S, Ph.D. Candidate, Animal Behavior Graduate Group, University of California, Davis, presents "Time to work: Exploring the role of circadian rhythms in sociality".
Sofía did her undergraduate and master’s degrees in biology at the University of Puerto Rico Rio Piedras campus. There she developed an interest in the origin of social behavior and circadian rhythms. She also became obsessed with proper model application and data science practices in biological sciences. She’s currently a Ph.D. candidate in the Animal Behavior Graduate Group at UC Davis. Her current research focuses on understanding the development of shift work and circadian rhythms by using long-term observations of ground nesting halictid bees of varying levels of sociality.
