	Began more or less gainful employment as a lecturer at Sydney 
University and transferred after several years to the Commonwealth Scientific 
and Industrial Research Organization's (CSIRO) Division of Animal Genetics. 
Initially worked on the soluble surface proteins of Paramecium, their 
synthetic control and the ribosomes and polysomes of the ciliate.  This work 
was the basis for a marvelous excuse to play with setting up automated data 
logging hardware and software for prep and analytical ultracentrifuges LSC's 
etc. on a PDP 11/10. Also did work on ovine DNA (sheep are big here). In 1984 
talked my masters into getting a VAX for the Division of Molecular Biology 
(which I had joined in 1981) and together with Carolyn Bucholtz set up MBIS 
(the Molecular Biological Information Service) a year later which is 
available to Oz Mol. Biologists through CSIRONET.  On occasions we try to 
take it all seriously but without much success.
