Interview highlights the role of environmental change and the comparative approach in research by early-career author Malcolm Thieme.
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. Malcolm Thieme is an author on ‘ Lighting the way: how the squid–Vibrio model can inform thermal impacts on symbiotic dynamics’, published in JEB. Malcolm is a PhD Student in the lab of Michele Nishiguchi at University of California Merced, Merced, USA, investigating the impact of environmental change on symbiotic systems.
