ECR Spotlight – Sushmita Arumugam Amogh

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. Sushmita Arumugam Amogh is an author on ‘ Hypergravity exposure leads to persistent effects on geotaxis and activity in Drosophila melanogaster’, published in JEB. Sushmita is a 5th Year PhD Candidate in the lab of Ysabel Milton Giraldo at University of California, Riverside, USA, investigating how gravity shapes neural control of movement and energy use.
