ECR Spotlight – Michael Lim

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 during our centenary year, but also the huge variety of animals and physiological systems that are essential for the ‘comparative’ approach. Michael Lim is an author on ‘ Intergenerational plasticity to cycling high temperature and hypoxia affects offspring stress responsiveness and tolerance in zebrafish’, published in JEB. Michael conducted the research described in this article while a PhD candidate in Dr Nicholas J. Bernier's lab at the University of Guelph, Canada, investigating the impacts of anthropogenic activities on animals, and how research can improve our ability to understand and mitigate the effects.
