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. Julia York is an author on ‘ Temperature sensing in fishes: mechanisms and modulation in a warming world’, published in JEB. Julia is a Postdoctoral fellow in the lab of Christina Cheng at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, USA, investigating the evolution, expression and function of thermosensory proteins in polar fish.
