Brian Patterson is a scientist with a special interest in the postharvest physiology of plants. He trained and worked in England before moving to Australia to work with the CSIRO. Brian's fascination with the local flora and fauna and ways in which it can coexist with urbanisation led to a move to the Central Coast, NSW, and his spare time is now spent regenerating a rainforest around his home.
