As part of the work championed by the UU裸聊直播 of Chemistry鈥檚 Heritage Science Expert Working Group, Dr Lucia Burgio, Senior Scientist at the V&A, will give the 2019 LS Theobald Lecture, exploring a range of scientific investigations that take place at the V&A and revealing some of the most recent scientific discoveries about our collections. Presentations by a number of other heritage scientists will discuss environmental monitoring, the use of scientific methods in identifying artists鈥� materials and dating porcelain, and some of the challenges involved in preserving modern materials such as plastics.
Organised in collaboration between the V&A Research Institute and the UU裸聊直播 of Chemistry鈥檚 Analytical Methods Committee and the Analytical Methods Trust.
