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 but also the huge variety of animals and physiological systems that are essential for the ‘comparative’ approach. Elizabeth (Beth) Rogers is an author on ‘ Water restriction increases oxidation of endogenous amino acids in house sparrows (Passer domesticus)’, published in JEB. Beth is a PhD candidate in the lab of Alex Gerson at University of Massachusetts Amherst, USA, investigating the physiological and metabolic adaptations that allow animals to contend with ecological challenges such as long-distance migration, disease, environmental change and the confluence of all three.
