Interview series highlights early-career researchers’ insights on comparative approaches in biology.
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. Dana Lim is an author on ‘ Evidence for cephalic magnetic map receptors in sea turtles’, published in JEB. Dana is a PhD student in the lab of Kenneth Lohmann at University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, USA, investigating how sea turtles detect and use Earth's magnetic field for orientation and navigation.
