Ambika Kamath (she/her) is a postdoctoral fellow at the Miller Institute for Basic Research in Science at the University of California Berkeley, affiliated with the Department of Environmental Science, Policy, and Management. She is a behavioral ecologist, interested in social and socioecological interactions among individuals, and the impact of these interactions for evolution. Her work combines field-based observation and data collection with theoretical-philosophical considerations of the (very human) process of science to better understand the lives of the animals we share our world with. Her Ph.D., from the Department of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology at Harvard University, interrogated longstanding theories of social interactions in Anolis lizards using both empirical research and historical analysis from a feminist perspective. She is currently learning what it means to be a dialectical biologist who understands behavior as a means by which organisms and their environments co-constitute one another, and attempting to apply this learning to make sense of the lives of social caterpillars. She will soon begin as an assistant professor in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at University of Colorado Boulder.
