Postdoctoral fellow Sonali Garg (Hanken Lab) awarded Indian National Science Academy Medal for 2022 Young Scientists.

The award, considered to be the highest recognition in the field, recognizes Garg's contribution to the field. She has carried out original and creative research on systematics, taxonomy and biogeography of frogs and other amphibian taxa of the Western Ghats and the northeast Indian region. She has employed traditional and modern molecular tools to circumscribe new species, solve existing taxonomic confusions, and published four dozen new frog species. Garg has reported a number of novel reproductive and ecological behaviors in frogs that were hitherto unknown to science. She has made sustained and focused research contribution in an area of important global biodiversity and conservation significance located in India.
