ECR Spotlight – Laura McHenry

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. Laura McHenry is an author on ‘ Sublethal glyphosate exposure reduces honey bee foraging and alters the balance of biogenic amines in the brain’, published in JEB. Laura conducted the research described in this article while a PhD student in Dr Margaret J. Couvillon's lab at Virginia Tech Department of Entomology, USA. Laura is now a Postdoctoral Research Scholar in the lab of Dr Margarita Lòpez-Uribe at The Pennsylvania State University Department of Entomology, USA, investigating animal behavior science to safeguard and promote the livelihoods of both people and wildlife.
