ECR Spotlight – Madison Bradley-Cronkwright

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. Madison Bradley-Cronkwright is an author on ‘ Impact of hindlimb length variation on jumping dynamics in the Longshanks mouse’, published in JEB. Madison conducted the research described in this article while a master's student in Dr Susanne Cote and Dr Campbell Rolian's lab at the University of Calgary, Canada. She is now a PhD candidate in the lab of Dr Doug Boyer at Duke University, USA, investigating how different levels of biological variation, like morphology and performance, interact and evolve.
