and tools that are needed. But you need to get these in you museum anyway so it’s a good idea to get your shopping list from Simon and stock up in advance. We included university technicians from zoology and anatomy departments to get the numbers to make the
course financially viable. We also included all in our small museum staff so that even if people don’t work with wet collections on a daily basis they understand fully what they are all about. I can also add my support to Simon’s long experience in museums
and unparalleled knowledge in his field.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I have been lucky to gain from Simon's broad expertise during the KUR-Programme and haven't met a person being that much devoted to fluid preservation, collection care and restoration of historic collection objects before.<br>
<br>
His broad practical knowledge can hardly be pressed into the few lines of a publication, and even though we didn't manage to bring Simon & his course to Germany yet, I can only encourage folks dealing with fluid collections to gain from Simon's expertise.<br>
<br>
Being a freelancer he has to take money for the course, but this is well invested money, especially regarding (historic & modern) preservation techniques.<br>
<br>
Book him, his course surely is worth every penny!<br>
<br>
(wouldn't compliment Simon / his course that much if I had not learned so many details on fluid preservation in many fruitful discussions with Simon the recent years!)<br>
