Hi Everyone,
I am pleased to announce that the Heliconius meeting will take place in Sheffield, UK this year, on the 13th and 14th of June. There is more information and a link for registration from this page on my website. As in previous years I hope the meeting will reflect the diverse range of research on these butterflies, including ecology, behaviour and genetics/genomics, and will be a chance for networking and to catch-up on the latest research ideas. Registration is open to anyone with an interest, so please come along!

I started a 5 year NERC fellowship in Sheffield in January 2014 working on the genes underlying iridescent colour in Heliconius. Previously I was a post-doc in the Jiggins lab for 6 years, working on the genes underlying colour pattern switches in Heliconius and more broadly on patterns of gene flow and divergence across the Heliconius melpomene/cydno group. Before this I was working on genes controlling plumage colour in birds and the effects of sexual selection on their evolution.
