继联邦德国、日本、欧洲低地国家等的科学概况介绍之后,英国科学杂志Nature于1985年7月18日～24日号又刊出了大洋洲国家(澳大利亚与新西兰)科学概况的介绍文章。本刊编輯部特组织选译,希望对要系统了解这些地处南半球而远隔重洋的国家在时间较短和资金短绌的情况下,如何在热带生物、试管婴儿育儿法、天文学、海洋学、地热开发等方面取得科学研究成就的读者,将能提供有用的帮助。 Following the introduction of science in the Federal Republic of Germany, Japan and low-lying European countries, Nature published an introductory article on the state of science of Oceania (Australia and New Zealand) from July 18 to July 24, 1985. The editorial department of the editorial organization selected translations and expressed the wish to systematically understand how these countries in the southern hemisphere separated by oceans, in the short period of time and in short supply of funds, have studied how tropical parental care, astrology, oceanography , Geothermal development and other aspects of scientific research achievements of readers, will be able to provide useful help.
