   1. Bill was originally trained as an anesthetist in the United Kingdom but has lived and worked in Australia for the last 24yrs. The tagline on his blog summarises his style nicely when it says “the essentially inane ramblings of a guy living in the best place in the world who is in almost complete denial of the aging process”.
   2. Bill has a strong interest in High Altitude Medicine and Physiology as well as the underlying cell and gene responses to the low oxygen environment. He has travelled to the Himalayas every year for the last 10 years and his blog started as a way to share his travels.
