#museum30 Day 3 #climate - reduce the burden on your systems and the environment by letting your storage work for you - data (mine) shows that boxes/cabinets buffer RH changes!

#Museum30 #Light - usually we try to limit an object’s exposure to light, but sometimes you need to shed a little more 💡and for that I use my trusty Inspection Beam 🔦

#museum30 Day 5 - it was hard to narrow it down, but these are the 5️⃣ tools I’ve been using most often in my recent projects (the paints count as one…)

Speaking of #Museum30 #accessibility … massive news from YPM today

Sentence I never imagined someone would say to me: “when Michael brings the dodo in, can you give him this jar of eyelashes?” #museumwork

#Museum30 #last12months via EMu audit - 149 treatments, 1558+ condition checks, 714 images uploaded, my grubby hands all over 2238 catalog records. Pretty productive year, in spite of everything.

Something I heard a number of times at the recent AIC & FAIC conference was that people do not want to move "up" to my position. They want to stay working at the bench. I respect that. Let's *normalize* not pushing your 'way up the ladder' 🧵

I’ve never felt so seen and vindicated

As you can see, my inpainting is extremely organized and methodical 🙄 #conservationlife

A rare time capsule success story (from a conservation perspective) - turns out the secret is a sealed lead box in a stone box, and NOT just burying it underground! news.yale.edu/2022/07/27/ben…
