  11. You've not missed our lovely Liz reviewing the nifty little loggers from BevArt, have you? 👀

    (Full disclosure: BevArt are kindly sponsoring us this season and sent Liz the sensors for free to try out. Cheers, guys!)

  12. Another thing I brought along to the show was these little zines I made with information on #CollectionsCare and #metals - they're hand-written and crudely illustrated, so not the most accessible, but I wanted people to be able to take away something useful.

    Not available digitally, but I'm glad people picked them up on the day!

  17. Yesterday I had great fun giving a masterclass talk on caring for #metals at the #MuseumsAndHeritageShow in London: I tried giving people an idea of what the most common reasons for #corrosion are, and how we can best avoid those and keep our metallic friends happy.

    I like bringing props, so here are two beautiful sets of keys: the bundle on the left has been given a protective coating, and the one on the right hasn't. 🔑

  18. Today I got to deliver something that's been living in my head for a while: a course on the #identification and #care of #metals in #collections! 🪙

    If you came along (it was open to Welsh professionals): thank you, I hope you learned something useful to your day-to-day!

    If you'd like to do something similar: get in touch, I'd love to do this again. ⚙️

    Now I can briefly stop thinking obsessively about metal and corrosion products...

  23. Happy Halloween! 🎃

    I've made another #conservation themed (or more accurately IPM themed) pumpkin this year: the SILVERFISH!

    Previous years have included woolly bears, clothes moth, and tape. Because of course.

    Keep it spooky out there! 🎃

  24. New episode! 🤖

    Solange, Phedra, Jenny and guest host Luisa Casella explore the world of AI and what it might mean for conservation professionals. 🧠 (It's techy but not very, don't fret!)

  25. Oh boy, it's been a busy few days! Last week I taught a beginners course in how to identify textiles in collections, and today I've delivered a similar training session on how to ID plastics. 🔎 🧶 🎞️

    My brain feels like it might be full of ONLY knowledge about polymers and fibre types now.

    If someone needs me I'll be a heap on the sofa with the doggo.

  26. Every conservator's dream: a #clock that shows not only the time but also the #temperature and relative #humidity!

    I wonder how accurate it is. 🤔

    Thanks #lidl! Watch museum professionals sneak these into storage rooms across the world now...

    (Available from 11 May in UK stores. This isn't a paid advert. I'm just a nerd.)

  27. A great use of #technology for #conservators: the #HoloLens2 is really just a fancy camera on a human but it works really well!

    It could also be vital for #training new #conservation professionals. Also imagine this used for virtual courier trips!

    I'm tickled by the prospect of adding better lights to the #headset. Collaborating directly with #Microsoft would actually be really cool.

  28. Here’s the reported “fiddler crab on steroids.” Now, although not a fiddler - it’s a blue land crab, Cardisoma guanhumi - I will admit that I would be startled hearing scratching at my office door, opening it to find this not-small asymmetrically-clawed crustacean. A museum curator’s job is never dull. #crustmas #crustacea #crustaceans #crabs #collection #CollectionsCare #digitization #25daysofcrustmas #malacostraca #museumspecimen #decapoda

  29. Every so often we stumble across a specimen record that makes us laugh for days. This is one of them. We recently acquired the South Carolina DNR’s Southeast Regional Taxonomic Center marine collection, and are working to integrate the metadata into our database. #crabs #crustacea #crustaceans #MuseumCollections #museum #CollectionsCare #curation #crustmas #25daysofcrustmas #malacostraca
