ECR Spotlight – Alec Wilken

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. Alec Wilken is an author on ‘ A new biomechanical model of the mammal jaw based on load path analysis’, published in JEB. Alec is a PhD candidate in the lab of Callum Ross and Zhe-Xi Luo at The University of Chicago, USA, investigating the evolution of skull form and function.
