Abstract
DR. JOSEPH NEEDHAM, F. R. S., of the Cambridge Biochemical Laboratory, has recently accepted a mission of cultural and scientific co-operation, on behalf of the British Council, to China. In Chungking he will be attached to the National Academy of China (Academia Sinica). He will carry letters of greeting to Academia Sinica from the Royal Society and the University of Cambridge, and to other Chinese organizations from the appropriate British bodies. He expects to visit most of the Chinese universities, and to facilitate the supply of scientific apparatus and books from India with the help of the Indian Government. It is probable also that he may be able to help the interchange of scientific and technical information between China and the other United Nations. For this purpose he would be glad to receive any suggestions bearing on the problems of scientific liaison, or any questions of specifically Chinese relevance ; after the end of the present month, he may be reached c/o British Embassy, Chungking, via Foreign Office, London.
