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. Amanda M. Palecek is an author on ‘ Integrating biomechanics in evolutionary studies, with examples from the amphidromous goby model system’, published in JEB. Amanda is a PhD candidate in the lab of Rick Blob at Clemson University Department of Biological Sciences, investigating the relationship between form and function in vertebrates and applying these findings to improve manmade bio-inspired designs.
