ECR Spotlight – Soren Coulson

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. Soren Coulson is an author on ‘ Regulation of muscle pyruvate dehydrogenase activity and fuel use during exercise in high-altitude deer mice’, published in JEB. Soren conducted the research described in this article while an MSc student in Grant McClelland's lab at McMaster University. He is now a PhD student in the lab of James Staples and Christopher Guglielmo at Western University, London, Ontario, investigating comparative exercise energetics.
