ECR Spotlight – Abhilasha Joshi

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. Abhilasha Joshi is an author on ‘ Fantastic beasts and how to study them: rethinking experimental animal behavior’, published in JEB. Abhilasha conducted postdoctoral research in Dr Loren Frank's lab at the University of California San Francisco, USA, and is now a Visiting Scientist at Champalimaud Center for the Unknown, Portugal, investigating the interactions between internal cognitive computations and ongoing actions.
