ECR Spotlight – Sarah Little-Letsinger

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. Sarah Little-Letsinger is an author on ‘ Gait compliance alters ground reaction forces in human walking: implications for the evolution of bipedalism’, published in JEB. Sarah is a postdoc in the lab of Daniel Schmitt at Duke University, investigating the integrative function and evolution of the osteoimmune-reproductive axis to understand why modern humans are the only animal that experiences spontaneous fracture.
