[Nhcoll-l] Fluid course

Tue Sep 11 17:50:11 EDT 2012

Many thanks for your interest in the fluid course.

I can do one in the US sometime (next year would be OK) but need to find a  
host organisation that can provide facilities, materials and deteriorated  
specimens, although participants can also bring their own. 
Being a freelancer, I also need to ensure that I can make enough to pay me  
for the course, travel and hotel costs!  So far no-one has come up with a  
result.  Normally I can take about 12, maybe 15 participants at a time. 

Having to travel by air does severely limit the amount of specialised  
materials and equipment that I would be permitted to carry but I can provide a  
list of requirements for a host to provide.

Hoping I can  make it there sometime and with all good wishes, Simon

Hi Sue 
You could always ask Simon if he would run the course in the US for  you! 
He travels & does this course where needed. You probably could get  enough 
participants for more than one course to spread the costs. He came up  and did 
the course just for our staff here at Aberdeen University a few years  ago 
and it was an outstanding success. Money well spent. It probably does need  
to be the 4 days to get the main content across as he covers a lot of the 
key  issues.

I’m  curious to know if a similar, though much less intensive course is 
offered in  another (closer!) venue? Or maybe there is a publication someone 
can  recommend? Something for naturalists, classroom biology teachers,  
environmental educators, etc.  
We  get a lot of things in jars donated here, and I often don’t know what 
the  liquid is or how to even go about finding out. There are other things I’
d like  to pickle myself, just for display purposes, but I’m not always sure 
how to go  about it. Any advice?

Dear  All, 

Simon  Moore's ever-popular four day fluid preservation course is due to 
take  place yet again at the Horniman Museum, 100 London Rd, Forest Hill,

The  course will take the usual four day format and the cost is £270 for 
the four  days and will cover all aspects of fluid preservation and 
conservation of  fluid-preserved specimens.   
The  course comprises PowerPoint presentations each day for about 1 hour 
and the  rest of the day is devoted entirely to practical work. 
Members  of NatSCA may apply for bursaries to help cover costs if budgets 
are  short. 
Please  apply to Simon Moore: _couteaufin at aol.com_

request a schedule if you  require one in advance. 
Full  handouts (including risk assessments) are included in the cost and  
accommodation can be sought in the local area. 

With  all good wishes, Simon
