ECR Spotlight – Alex Berry

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. Alex Berry is an author on ‘ MeGaH: a novel system for concurrent measurement of metabolic rate, valve gape and heart rate in aquatic bivalves, and its application in assessing mussel responses to environmental change’, published in JEB. Alex is a PhD student in the lab of Craig Sherman at Deakin University, Geelong, Australia, investigating how aquatic animals are affected by environmental change.
