Conversation – Jeremy Goldbogen
“I remember seeing this amazing microscopic world. It stimulated my imagination and it has stuck with me to this day”
Jeremy Goldbogen is an Assistant Professor at the Hopkins Marine Station, Stanford University, USA, where he studies the integrative biology of vertebrate filter feeders from forage fish to baleen whales. In this interview, he shares his journey from being fascinated by microscopic creatures as a child to studying some of the largest animals on earth.

JEB in the news – Good fighters are bad runners
It has long been supposed that strength in fighting comes at the expense of running or spatial mobility. Now, an experiment with house mice from David Carrier and colleagues at the University of Utah provides evidence for this theory.

Travelling Fellowship – Diving right into research
Combining biology and mathematics, Julia Samson, a PhD student at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, focuses her research on the effects of local water flows on pulsing behaviour of soft corals. A Travelling Fellowship from JEB gave Julia the opportunity to travel to the Inter-University Institute (IUI) in Eilat, Israel, with a team of her collaborators to collect data on coral behaviour and fluid dynamics. Read her story here.
Where could your research take you? The deadline for the current round of applications for a JEB Travelling Fellowship is 31 August. Find out more here.
