The Australasian Editor of New Scientist, Ian Anderson, has
been awarded a fellowship by the New Zealand government to study science and
technology in New Zealand. Anderson is one of six Australians who have been
awarded a 1996-1997 ANZAC fellowship, the last time the fellowship will be
offered. In a reciprocal arrangement, six New Zealanders will come to Australia.
Anderson plans to visit universities and research institutions in five cities on
both islands. Other Australian fellows include Freda Briggs from the University
of South Australia, and Julia Williams from the National Film and Sound Archive
of Australia in Canberra. Among the New Zealand fellows are Murray Close from
the Institute of Environmental Science and Research in Christchurch and Jamie
Natusch, a chemical engineer with a Wellington-based consultancy. The ANZAC
fellowship, which was established in 1967 to encourage closer links between the
two countries, will not be funded after this year.
