ECR Spotlight – Grace Sutton

Abstract

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 during our centenary year but also the huge variety of animals and physiological systems that are essential for the ‘comparative’ approach. Grace Sutton is an author on ‘ Determining energy expenditure in a large seabird using accelerometry’, published in JEB. Grace conducted the research described in this article while a PhD student in Dr John Arnould's lab at Deakin University, Burwood, Australia. She is now a Research Fellow (Eco Remote Sensing Scientist) in the lab of Dr Jim Radford at La Trobe University, Bundoora, Australia, investigating fine-scale animal movements with a focus on foraging and energetics.
