My husband went to a Welsh copper mine, and brought me back... a lump!

Hello! I turned up here in January and immediately wandered off. What have I been up to since? Writing about fluid preserved collections, talking about colonialism, preserving fish, photographing fish, writing about fish... I know very little about fish, but lots about fluid preservation! #PhDLife

@flygirlnhm.bsky.social came for a sneaky peek around the new storage space for our fluid-preserved collection, and photographed some of my favourites 😍

Just had a peak in the amazing new collections storage space of the #ColeMuseum This is @wetconservatrix.bsky.social modelling a GIANT polychaete with @chrisfoster.bsky.social, @acallazoo.bsky.social and myself have specimen selfies with it
