ECR Spotlight – Jeffrey Hainer

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 during our centenary year but also the huge variety of animals and physiological systems that are essential for the ‘comparative’ approach. Jeffrey Hainer is an author on ‘ Sensorimotor control of swimming Polypterus senegalus is preserved during sensory deprivation conditions across altered environments’, published in JEB. Jeffrey is a PhD student in the lab of Emily Standen at University of Ottawa, Canada, investigating how sensory information is used to control locomotion in fish.
