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. Pablo Macías-Torres is an author on ‘ Flight energetics of barn swallows across speeds: high aerodynamic efficiency, but low energy conversion efficiency’, published in JEB. Pablo is a postdoc in the lab of Anders Hedenström at Lund University, Sweden, investigating bird migration, behaviour and energetics.
