ECR Spotlight – Agnès Lewden

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. Agnès Lewden is an author on ‘ Changes in body surface temperature reveal the thermal challenge associated with catastrophic moult in captive gentoo penguins’, published in JEB. Agnès is a post-doctoral fellow in the lab of Dr Aude Leynaert and Dr Antoine Stier at IUEM – LEMAR – Technopole Brest Iroise, France, investigating captive and wild populations of penguins to understand core and body surface temperature variations in the function of physiological state and environmental parameters.
