I studied Zoology at Sheffield where I continued to do a PhD on mechanisms of sexual selection. During this time I also ran field expeditions and worked on projects encompassing a variety of topics from sea bird ecology in Northern Canada to conservation of giant otters in Bolivia. Following my PhD I moved to Oxford University to take up a Research Fellow in Ornithology and subsequently a Browne Research Fellowship at The Queen’s College, Oxford. During this time I started working on social evolution, which is the focus of my current research. In 2011 I moved to Lund to take up an associate professorship funded by VR, and then in 2013 I was awarded a Wallenberg Academy Fellowship which secured the future and led to a senior lectureship in evolutionary biology at Lund.
