ECR Spotlight – Szymon Szymański

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. Szymon Szymański is an author on ‘ Learning performance and GABAergic pathway link to deformed wing virus in the mushroom bodies of naturally infected honey bees’, published in JEB. Szymon is a MSci student in the lab of Fabio Manfredini at the School of Biological Sciences, University of Aberdeen, UK, investigating how environment affects the behaviour of ecologically relevant species, and the mechanisms of such changes.
