Jenny Whilde

I earned a B.Sc. in Natural Sciences from Trinity College, Dublin, Ireland, where I developed an interest in animal behavior, marine biology, and conservation. I then obtained a M.Sc. in Evolutionary and Behavioural Ecology from the University of Exeter, UK and subsequently returned to Trinity College, Dublin to undertake my Ph.D., focusing on social group dynamics in zoo-housed animals, including elephants and orangutans. I have many years of experience in scientific research across a broad range of disciplines including behavioral ecology, cancer research, and marine biology.
