ECR Spotlight – Brynne Duffy

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. Brynne Duffy is an author on ‘ arousal from hibernation increases blood oxygen saturation in 13-lined ground squirrels’, published in JEB. Brynne is a PhD candidate in the lab of Jim Staples at The University of Western Ontario, Canada, investigating mechanisms that allow animals to endure harsh environments and cope with significant physiological changes.
