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. Yaqi Li is an author on ‘ The impact of visual perturbations on balance control during walking’, published in JEB. Yaqi is a PhD student in the lab of Jaap van Dieën at Department of Human Movement Science, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, The Netherlands, investigating how ageing affects the role of sensory information in balance control during human locomotion.
