Hannah Lemon

Academic Profile

My career so far has largely focused on wildlife and ecology with a particular focus on long-term studies. After finishing my undergraduate Biology degree at St Andrews University I worked on a variety of wild systems covering both birds and mammals. In more recent years I worked as a lab manager looking at the gut microbiome in remote island wild systems.

Current Research

I am currently on the Environmental Research NERC DTP with my DPhil focusing on social behaviour, health and ageing in wild animal populations with a particular emphasis on the use of social network analysis to address these topics.
