Abstract

ABSTRACT ECR Spotlight is a series of interviews with early-career authors from a selection of papers published in Journal of Experimental Biology and aims to promote not only the diversity of early-career researchers (ECRs) working in experimental biology but also the huge variety of animals and physiological systems that are essential for the ‘comparative’ approach. Erin Spencer is an author on ‘ Thermal performance and activation energy explain flexible thermal habitat use in great hammerhead sharks’, published in JEB. Erin is a Communications Manager, Mesophotic and Deep Benthic Communities Restoration at the National Marine Sanctuary Foundation, USA, using biologgers to understand the movement and behavior of great hammerhead sharks.
