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. Ayelén Nally is an author on ‘ Associative learning switches DEET valence from aversive to appetitive in Aedes aegypti’, published in JEB. Ayelén is a postdoc in the lab of Fernando Locatelli at Universidad de Buenos Aires, and a lecturer at Universidad Nacional de Tres de Febrero, investigating insect neuroethology and chemical ecology, especially social insects and pollinators.
