ECR Spotlight – Amalie Hutchinson

Abstract

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. Amalie Hutchinson is an author on ‘ The mitochondrial physiology of torpor in ruby-throated hummingbirds, Archilochus colubris’, published in JEB. Amalie is a PhD candidate in the lab of Jim Staples and Chris Guglielmo at The University of Western Ontario, Canada, investigating the physiology of torpor in flying heterotherms: hummingbirds and bats.
