Course on fluid preservation of biological specimens

Simon Moore is giving another Fluid Preservation course at the
Sedgwick Museum's Brighton Building, Madingley Road, Cambridge from
7-10 June, 2010.  Cost for the course remains at UKP250 for the four
days. You will be learning about the effects of fluid fixatives and
preservatives on, largely, zoological and botanical materials and
most of the course is practical, given over to repairing specimens
that have decayed, collapsed, dried out etc.  Jar comparison and
sealing techniques, together with  tips for fluid analysis, specific
problem analysis will be covered.  You are invited to bring a
problem specimen or two, to work on, from your own  museum's
collections provided that they can travel safely. There are
presently 7 spaces available.
