Bonjour @wemby . Félicitations on the win! I'm sure you will be busy but consider a visit the Department of Scientific Research at @metmuseum to learn about the intersection of science and art. Let me know if you would like to schedule a tour!

I worry that Wembanyama will get caught up in the distractions of New York City, like the Rose Reading Room at the public library or the upcoming conference on participatory futures at The New School

I hate Met halloween...what do you mean you're Robert Gober's Short Haired Cheese (1992-93)?

The Department of Scientific Research had so much fun yesterday talking good (and bad vibes), corrosion, and crazy colors at the 10th anniversary of Teens Take the Met.

🚨 New paper alert! 🚨

Analysis of a 15th c. tapestry revealed unusual chlorinated xanthones produced only by certain species of lichen. Is this the 1st evidence of a new lichen dye?

@DianeRafizadeh Dianeeee! Congrats! ❤️

[Rachel Lackner @rachlack]

Very excited to be giving this month's Art Bio Matters seminar on lichen metabolites in a medieval tapestry! Join Art Bio Matters (https://t.co/EjfPBkDdVi) to hear more about our findings and how it could change our understanding of the historic uses of lichen dyes.

This week was our first staff crafting lunch club. Mainly knitters and crocheters. To celebrate, here are some cute friends from my current bench object. 1781, Knitted Hanging, T. 375-1977. #KnittingTwitter #TextileConservation

Starting my week by preparing some 15th century wool fibers for LCMS!

(These are HUGE samples from a conservation perspective, so I’m cutting them down to size before extraction)
