Co-organized with Joseph Needham Foundation for Science and Civilisation in Hong Kong, this exhibition features 11 banners with photos documenting Dr. Needham’s first encounter with wartime China and its Free Universities in the Southwest, and a slideshow highlighting the life adventures of Dr. Needham. Thanks for the help of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology Library, Dr Needham’s 3-volume masterpiece “Chemical Embryology” which earned him the membership at the prestigious Royal Society at the age of 41 will be displayed too.
