ECR Spotlight – Jennifer Mallon

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. Jennifer Mallon is an author on ‘ Sublethal changes to coral metabolism in response to deoxygenation’, published in JEB. Jennifer conducted the research described in this article while a Smithsonian Research Fellow in Valerie Paul's lab at Smithsonian Marine Station, Fort Pierce, Florida, USA. She is now a postdoctoral research fellow in the lab of Joana Figueiredo at National Coral Reef Institute (NCRI), Nova Southeastern University, investigating changes to coral reefs and coastal ecosystems in the face of a changing climate, including shifts in productivity, calcification (reef growth) and coral reproductive capacity.
