ECR Spotlight – Salvatore Lacava

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. Salvatore Lacava is an author on ‘ The role of mouse tails in response to external and self-generated balance perturbations on the roll plane’, published in JEB. Salvatore is a PhD student in the lab of Marylka Yoe Uusisaari at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST), Japan, investigating how mice use their tails to help them balance during locomotion and in response to external perturbations.
