I'm very excited to be giving a talk for the ICON Modern Materials Group in a few weeks! I'll be discussing recent research on the degradation of plastic museum objects. icon.org.uk/events/complex… @IconMMN @UCL_ISH @lomecreu @ucqbbem @Conservators_UK @TheBartlettUCL @makearne

Really pleased to be at @ICONSci event on how #conservation can benefit from #HeritageScience infrastructure. Looking forward to the examples from @UkNatArchives @Tate @NHM_London and @AshmoleanMuseum

@UkNatArchives @Tate @UKRI_News @NHM_London Finally, Victoria Kemp @AshmoleanMuseum is providing an overview on the @LeverhulmeTrust project on Ruskin’s materials started in 2022 by @TeaGhigo, and how this opened up new research projects, including on Hunt’s artworks, possible thanks to equipment obtained through CapCo.

@UkNatArchives @Tate @UKRI_News Fabiana Portoni and Anna Fenlon highlighted crucial research they are doing at @NHM_London in understanding what happens to collection during freeze treatment for Integrated Pest Management. They are determining the effect of low temperature on unregistered specimens using ESEM

Today at @UCL_ISH we are highlighting examples of conservation projects which have used heritage science facilities and expertise to inform and enhance their work. #capco #ahrc #riches

This year’s lecture from @ICONSci is all about sustainability in conservation. Sign up to hear Piero Baglioni speak about his current project, @ProjectGreenart. The @ICONSci AGM will also take place beforehand. 📅: 24 Oct 2024, 5:45-7pm 📍: @UCL & online icon.org.uk/events/heritag…

The science that underpins conservation & heritage in the UK is receiving a significant boost through the AHRC RICHeS programme. Find out more on how we're transforming the nation's capabilities by bringing science to the forefront of arts and humanities: orlo.uk/arL4y
