Roslynn grew up in Sydney, studying for a B.Sc. degree at the University of Sydney, with Honours in Biochemistry. After a year working as a research biochemist she moved to Tasmania and completed a B.A. and M.A. in English Literature. In 1970 she was awarded a British Commonwealth Scholarship for Ph.D. study at the University of Leicester.

We returned to Australia in 1972, Raymond to a position with the CSIRO Division of Radiophysics in Sydney and Ros to a lectureship in English at the University of New South Wales. In those positions we had many opportunities for overseas study, visiting fellowships, and speaking at international conferences. During our years at CSIRO and UNSW Raymond became a Senior Principal Research Scientist and Ros an Associate Professor.
We greatly enjoyed the intellectual stimulation of our jobs but in 2001 we decided to leave our full-time positions and return to Tasmania to enjoy a more varied and desirable lifestyle in a State where 'wilderness' can be only an hour or two away.
We have set up a new company, Polymath Professionals to encompass our new and expanded interests. Please see details of these in the following pages.
