ECR Spotlight – Ruth Dunn and James Duckworth

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. Ruth Dunn and James Duckworth are authors on ‘ A framework to unlock marine bird energetics’, published in JEB. Ruth is a Senior Research Associate in the lab of Nick Graham at Lancaster Environment Centre, Lancaster University, UK, investigating the ecology and energetics of marine predators and their influence on the ecosystems that they inhabit. James is an Associate Researcher in the lab of Jonathan Green at the School of Environmental Sciences, University of Liverpool, UK, investigating applications of energetic and ecological theory to address practical problems.
