First person – Louise Roberts

First Person is a series of interviews with the first authors of a selection of papers published in Biology Open, helping early-career researchers promote themselves alongside their papers. Louise Roberts is first author on ‘Finding a home in the noise: cross-modal impact of anthropogenic vibration on animal search behaviour’, published in BIO. Louise is a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the lab of Mark Laidre at Dartmouth College, USA, investigating how animals interpret their environment using sound in the air and the water, and vibration within sediments and surfaces.
