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. Lata Adnani is first author on ‘Plag1 and Plagl2 have overlapping and distinct functions in telencephalic development’, published in BiO. Lata conducted the research described in this article while a PhD student in Dr Carol Schuurmans’ lab at University of Calgary, Canada. She is now a postdoctoral fellow in the lab of Dr Janusz Rak at McGill University Health Centre, Montreal, Canada, investigating neuroscience.
