*CALL for VIRTUAL TOURS and LIGHTNING TALKS*

The Natural Sciences Collections Association (NatSCA) UK is delighted to
share information about our annual conference 'Changing the world:
environmental breakdown and natural science collections':
https://www.natsca.org/natsca-2021

The programme is nearly complete but please do consider submitting an
abstract for the following opportunities:

LIGHTNING TALKS
We are looking for lightning talks - 5 minutes (pre-recorded) on a natural
sciences topic of your choice -

   - Is there a project, innovation or discovery from your work that we
   could all learn from?
   - Do you have a burning provocation to make us think?
   - This part of the programme is intended to inspire delegates, with a
   focus on sharing new ideas.
   - Lightning talks do not need to address the “Environmental Breakdown”
   theme.

VIRTUAL TOURS

   - Could you take us on a tour of your museum space?
   - Have you opened a new gallery or undertaken a re-storage project?
   - Have you got an exciting story to share about your galleries or
   stores?
   - This part of the programme involves a 20-25 minute tour that you
   record in advance, followed by 5-10 minutes live Q&A at the conference.

If you would like to participate in the conference please see our website
<https://natsca.org/natsca-2021> for more information and the abstract
submission form. DEADLINE 26 March 2021.

If you have any technical questions prior to submitting an abstract please
