ECR Spotlight – Giulia Rossi

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. Giulia Rossi is an author on ‘ The sugar oxidation cascade: convergent metabolic strategies in hovering vertebrate nectarivores’, published in JEB. Giulia contributed to writing this article while a Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) and L'Oréal-United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) For Women in Science postdoctoral fellow in Kenneth Welch Jr’s lab at University of Toronto, Scarborough, ON, Canada. She is now a postdoctoral fellow in the lab of Alexander Little at McMaster University, Hamilton, ON, Canada, investigating the metabolic physiology of animals faced with extreme environmental and energetic challenges.
