ECR Spotlight – Ella De Nicola

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. Ella De Nicola is an author on ‘ Early photoperiodic cues modulate capacity for adult cold tolerance in the yellow fever mosquito Aedes aegypti’, published in JEB. Ella is a PhD candidate in the lab of Dr Heath A. MacMillan and Dr Kyle K. Biggar at Carleton University, Ottawa, Canada, investigating how environmental cues shape molecular and physiological responses in insects.
