ECR Spotlight – Fouzia Haider

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. Fouzia Haider is an author on ‘ Winter intensity shapes overwintering energy gain and use in bark beetles under range expansion’, published in JEB. Fouzia conducted the research described in this article while a Postdoc in Heath MacMillan's lab at Carleton University, Canada. Fouzia is now a Biology Instructor at Acadia University, investigating how bioenergetic processes fuel an organism's ability to withstand stress, adapt and thrive in changing environments.
