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. David Matthews is an author on ‘ Locomotor effects of a fibrosis-based immune response in stickleback fish’, published in JEB. David conducted the research described in this article while a Graduate student in Dr George Lauder's lab at the Department of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology, Harvard University, USA. He is now a postdoc in the lab of Dr Craig Albertson at the Department of Biology, University of Massachusetts Amherst, USA, investigating the mechanisms by which genetic changes are translated into functional and fitness differences between individuals.
