ECR Spotlight – Marishia Agard

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. Marishia Agard is an author on ‘ Another fly diuretic hormone: tachykinins increase fluid and ion transport by adult Drosophila melanogaster Malpighian (renal) tubules’, published in JEB. Marishia is a PhD Candidate in the lab of Jean-Paul Paluzzi at York University, North York, investigating how the endocrine system regulates salt and water balance in insects.
