I've made the usual mistake of assuming that because Aussies know a lot
about the USA and the UK--since we get plenty of TV, movies, magazines,
books and visiting firemen from both great metropolitan centers (as well,
of course, from Europe, Africa and much of nearby Asia)--you Yanks would
have a reciprocal clue as well. Sorry about that. Professor Lord Robert
Winston is a major *in vitro* pioneer, with patents in transgenic
technology, and the author and/or host of SUPERHUMAN (hasn't that reached
PBS yet?), so he's not necessarily an Olde Fogey Farte of marginal
intelligence.
