The early years

Born in England in 1954, I graduated (as Jane Teresa Newton) from the University of Glasgow, Scotland, in 1975 with an Honours degree in Zoology, specialising in developmental biology. After a brief post graduate affair with neurophysiological research at London’s National Institute for Medical Research, I abandoned my PhD studies, along with several one-eyed experimental goldfish, and returned to Scotland. I wanted to work in a more personally meaningful way to communicate complex scientific ideas to the general public. In my wiser years, I am able to look back and smile at the symbolism that was lost on me at the time. The one eyed goldfish (if you’re squeamish or hold anti-vivisection views, please don’t ask!) symbolised the one-eyed perception of the research world I experienced back then.

I spent two years at Glasgow University’s Hunterian Museum as a Writer & Producer of travelling exhibitions. I learned writing and media skills on the job and was given a free hand in deciding on the subject material I wanted to put on the road. One exhibition, titled ‘Mermaids, Myths and Monsters’, gave me a taste of things to come when a scientist sets science alongside mythology to illustrate alternative perceptions of the same world.

The eighties: Travelling south

The next decade took in a mix of communication/science jobs and businesses including time off to live in Nigeria and Ecuador after the birth of my daughter, Rowan, in 1981, quickly followed by my son, Euan, in 1982. By 1984, we had moved to Australia, where my work began to settle in the direction of writing.

The nineties: Faith & frugality

By 1991 we had become Australian citizens, and Australia was truly home. A colleague later pointed out that, as an English Winter Solstice child born on the longest of dark winter nights, I had travelled across the world to celebrate my birthdays on the longest of hot summer days. Symbolically, she offered, I was transforming the long darkness of the unconscious into the bright summer light. Symbolism permits the poetry of free expression, but science has its application too, so ...

The dream research work began:

In 1992 I decided to move full time into self-funded dream research, an exercise in faith and frugal living that has been meaningfully fruitful and personally rewarding.
