Brian Lee was born in the United Kingdom and emigrated to Canberra in the 1960s. He was a science writer with CSIRO and also worked freelance. He was Australian Correspondent for New Scientist and also worked for Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research and the National Parks and Wildlife Service.
