ECR Spotlight – Michael Meece

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. Michael Meece is an author on ‘ Assessing recovery of Drosophila melanogaster photoreceptors with different wavelengths of red and infrared light’, published in JEB. Michael is a PhD student in the lab of Elke K. Buschbeck at the University of Cincinnati, USA, investigating retinal degeneration, photoreceptor physiology and photobiomodulation.
