ECR Spotlight – Mitchell Ford

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. Mitchell Ford is an author on ‘ Effects of high hydrostatic pressure on the mechanical performance and behavior of shallow-water jellyfish (Aurelia aurita)’, published in JEB. Mitchell is a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the lab of John (Jack) Costello at Providence College, USA, investigating the biomechanics and fluid dynamics of how aquatic animals locomote and otherwise interact with the world around them.
