About the author(s): Having been born in Yorkshire, Fred travelled north to university in Glasgow and never went back. A Ph.D. from Strathclyde convinced him that research was not for him and he turned to teaching. He remained a teacher in Glasgow until his school was demolished and he was given early retirement. Fred has had a long involvement with the SEB/SQA and is currently the Principal Assessor for Standard Grade Biology. For relaxation Fred enjoys hill walking, although the hills are not as high and the walks not as long as they once were. He also plays bowls and likes to watch the sun go down with a glass of something.
