Richard is recently retired and is now enjoying a life of travel, music, gardening and wine making unfettered by daily obligations to office, government department machinations and fickle funding. His career encompassed estate management in Scotland, educating university aspirants in land rehabilitation and researching soils and land management for the Victorian government. He has now nearly forgotten everything he ever pretended to know about science but has accepted the challenge to explore the nature of science villainy and share his thoughts with you tonight.

Richard MacEwan on The Nature Of Villainy

Richard graduated in ecology from Edinburgh University, then spent 15 years managing a small Scottish estate and studying the works of Muhyiddin Ibn Arabi, the renowned Andalusian scholar and mystic before returning to postgraduate studies in soil science at Reading University and moving to Australia in 1988. Since 1989 Richard has worked in soil research and education. He is currently a senior research scientist with the Victorian Government (DEDJTR) based in Bendigo.
