Leveraging genetic variation in the social partners to investigate effects of the social environment on behaviour (360G-Wellcome-105941_Z_14_A)

I have been invited to speak at a workshop that brings together experts from statistics, genetics, and computer science in order to discuss current and future challenges in my field (http://web.cs.ucla.edu/~ehalperin/bcb2018/). I am however expecting a baby for the middle of June and based on my experience attending conferences after I had my first child, I have decided to take my new baby, who will be 3 months old at the time of the conference, with me. I indeed found it difficult to be separated from my first child for a week when I attended ICQG5 in June 2016, and struggled to keep breastfeeding after this week-long separation. Because I want to make the most of my time at the conference, I have asked my mother to accompany me to babysit and she has accepted. Her coming with me will incur extra costs, for which I am submitting this application. Attending this conference will allow me to develop my research at the leading edge of the field, based on the presentations and discussions I will see/have at the conference. It will also allow me to make my research known to a broad set of excellent researchers, which is particularly important given the relative youth of my field (social genetic effects) and its relevance across the board of disciplines and species. Finally, it will give me the opportunity to meet key people to start discussing my next position, which I would like to be independent group leader.
