DESCRIPTION:Post-starburst galaxies have long been known as an intriguing 
 class of galaxies\, identified through their unusual optical spectra as ha
 ving had a recent burst of star formation that has since quenched.  What c
 ause the starburst and what caused the quenching?  Originally identified i
 n clusters (so-called E+A or K+A galaxies)\, they are now known to exist i
 n all environments.  They are rare at low-redshift\, but increasingly comm
 on at high redshift.  I will review recent progress in studying post-starb
 urst galaxy properties\, focussing on the question of whether they are tru
 e ‘transition’ species\, i.e. galaxies transiting from the blue cloud 
 to the red sequence\, and how important they could be for accounting for t
 he growth of the red sequence since z~2.\n
