ECR Spotlight – Carla Ladd

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. Carla Ladd is an author on ‘ Behavior choices amongst grooming, feeding and courting in Drosophila show contextual flexibility, not an absolute hierarchy of needs’, published in JEB. Carla is a postdoc in the lab of Kenneth Kosik at the Neuroscience Research Institute, University of California, Santa Barbara, USA, investigating the effects of Alzheimer's Disease on habituation.
