@chatterismus Great to see some highlights of your collection out in the library while you are closed

@chatterismus 'drinking eel blood stops men drinking too much beer' - I imagine it stops you eating or drinking anything at all for a while!

Hazards of marine archaeology - how much gunpowder could be in this excavated cannon? And how can it be conserved safely? #IconAL Lovely X-ray showing shot still in place after 170 years under the sea

[Sophie Rowe @jneurowe1]

The personal effects really bring this story to life... #IconAL

Beautiful and extraordinary deterioration on artefacts from Franklins Erebus and Terror - such a cool project being showcased at Icon's Annual Lecture today #IconAL

@thecwordpodcast Sounds like the CodeX project at York https://t.co/5qHI9Ov7Wx Such a cool project and some amazing non-destructive sampling techniques using rubber erasers developed too!

So excited to share the #PlasticsinPeril conference again, this time on YouTube https://t.co/yj5F5cyIwP 14 hours of plastics conservation gold!

Should we clean plastics like we clean paintings? Is sustainable cold storage a pipe dream?

Find out how to catch up with the 'Plastics in Peril: conservation of polymers in cultural heritage' conference in Sophie Rowe's new blog- https://t.co/2mw0F8akAx

#InternationalMuseumDay is also a good time to share Icon's manifesto on Collections Care: An Act of Optimism and An Act of Custodianship: https://t.co/4z2pa9cV4G
Primarily aimed at museum trustees, it outlines how trustees of cultural heritage organisations (1/2)

I was really honoured to be interviewed for the @RoySocChem Education in Chemistry. Hopefully it will inspire some future heritage scientists! @UCL_ISH @matijastrlic @lomecreu @makearne https://t.co/wTgllbxanG

It's gotten to the point where I have TOO MUCH to say about emergency kits. Just look at this beauty! #collectionsemergency

Icon has published new research exploring the values of conservation. The project collected a range of source material, including statements about conservation from conservators themselves and public votes on what conservation means to people. Read more at https://t.co/x7myC2v0ab

I just came to the realization that, over the course of one's career, one should expect to adapt/retrain/pivot AT LEAST once in order to stay relevant or simply just to keep a job. I'm NOT talking about progressing, because, for that, it's obvious you have to do so.

This looks like something for @CCG_ICON @Crossman_AmyL @HelenaCDO @dw2592 @ICONSci and @MuseumPests and others! https://t.co/OqHYthIGQU

@JennyRowan_ How about these at the Whipple Museum of History of Science? https://t.co/DdpdUcYaUN

Electricity comprises 25% of global greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs)—the largest emitter! But energy is often the invisible culprit. If you're ready to further your #EnergySaving initiatives, then this guide is for you! https://t.co/nZs2uBa7mH

[Cambridge Development & Alumni Relations @YoursCambridge]

#CambridgeUniversity is home to the highest concentration of internationally important collections outside London.

A consortium of 5 institutions has been awarded £3m from @ahrcpress for equipment and refurbishment to make research more accessible.
