ECR Spotlight – Alejandro Damian-Serrano

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. Alejandro Damian-Serrano is an author on ‘ Colonial architecture modulates the speed and efficiency of multi-jet swimming in salp colonies’, published in JEB. Alejandro conducted the research described in this article while a postdoc in Kelly R. Sutherland's lab at the University of Oregon, USA. Alejandro is a comparative naturalist interested in the differences in functional morphology, ecology and natural history between species.
