ECR Spotlight – Ruth Gutjahr

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. Ruth Gutjahr is an author on ‘ Gekko gecko as a model organism for understanding aspects of laryngeal vocal evolution’, published in JEB. Ruth is a PhD student in the lab of Prof. Boris Philippe Chagnaud at the University of Graz, Austria, investigating the neuronal networks underlying animal behavior.
