This was the PhD place that Chris Jiggins applied for in 1993. This Ecuador project team, which was completed by the addition of Owen McMillan the next year, led eventually to the Heliconius genomics community of today. This poster was found during a lab move from Wolfson House to the Darwin Building, UCL.
Since I spoke no Spanish, I managed to promptly crash the project car (so my driving skills must have been rudimentary) and I had been taught almost no population genetics during my degree in Cambridge – I am rather surprised that you offered me the position.
