• A successful experience in American culture and language, with advanced proficiency in personal and interpersonal communication skills.
Deep interaction with Science, Technology and American History enriched by visiting The Museum of Science and Technology, Historical Monuments in Boston-MA.This was my best practical experience. Extraordinary for my education.
The senior officials of Debre Tabor University recently undertook a comprehensive observation and held a detailed discussion concerning the state of the university's General Museum and the Begemdir Archives Center. These institutions operate under the auspices of the Directorate of Cultural Research and Development. On December 21, 2017, the university’s leadership convened to assess the current condition of these cultural repositories and deliberated on strategies to enhance their functionality. During the discussions, the officials emphasized their commitment to supporting the museum and archives center in their mission to preserve and showcase the rich heritage of the institution. They also highlighted the importance of making these resources accessible for research and public engagement, signaling their intent to foster greater academic and cultural exploration.
How can designers bring audiences closer to science stories? How can you bring ice into a museum without it melting? This project started as an obsession with glaciers as archives of data, and a desire to illustrate these otherwise unseen depths. All too often, we value the world around us for its untapped resources or potential economic advantages. And it is too easy to forget both the interdependence between ourselves and our planet, and the importance of advocating for nature’s agency and protection.

'Team Pigment' colleagues are now unearthing more of the stories hidden beneath the surface of Durham’s medieval manuscripts, thanks to £400,000 from the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) Capability for Collections Fund (CapCo). AHRC-CapCo funding helps research institutes and universities renew and improve their facilities for collections-led research, focusing on conservation and heritage science facilities, digital capture equipment and specialist study spaces; ensuring UK researchers and innovators have use of world class laboratories, equipment and digital resources. Funding awarded to ‘Team Pigment’ (Tony King and Andy Beeby) between 2020 and 2021 has enabled the Durham Library and Collections facilities to obtain new state-of-the-art optical analysis equipment. Durham's 'Team Pigment' have consequently made a leap in the level of detail with which they can analyse the components used to produce illuminated manuscripts. This knowledge sheds light not only on how individual manuscripts were produced, but also on the availability of the materials used to paint them and therefore the evolution of international trade networks. The work is invaluable to historians exploring cultural, social and economic development between the 7th and 15th centuries. 👉 A new book, ‘The Pigments of British Medieval Illuminators: a scientific and cultural study’ was published last year, sharing some of this new data. This publication documents the analysis of over 400 medieval books held at Durham and elsewhere, and includes some of the most historically significant historical manuscripts in the UK. 👉 Read our earlier post about the work of ‘Team Pigment’, here: https://lnkd.in/dK5uCVjK #transformativehumanities #creativitycultureheritage #sciencehumanities #History #Interdisciplinary #Science #spectroscopy #imaging #chemistry #LibraryandCollections Tony King Andy Beeby Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC)
From medieval manuscripts to Chinese ceramics and engravings from Versailles, find out how our project teams have been able to upgrade our heritage facilities and introduce state-of-the-art equipment, improving research capabilities and opening our collections to wider audiences. As the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) World Class Labs programme comes to a close, we are reflecting on the impact the funding has had hear at Durham. 👉 https://brnw.ch/21wNDVd
This is what I learned from several courses at the School of Museum Studies, University of Leicester #heritage and its concepts were constructed by the power or the majority. #museum is one of the powers. People believe that a museum is a valid knowledge institution. Hence, whatever the museum puts on display is a trustworthy statement. Museum play a significant role in declaring both tangible & intangible heritage. Thus, it is essential for a museum to have experts and professionals who are related to the museum, collections, and its mission. Museum needs to act ethically and professionally as public trust the institution as a knowledge centre. https://lnkd.in/gnfeDB-a

Senior Director of Children, Family and Youth Learning and Research at American Museum of Natural History
The American Museum of Natural History's Museum Education Experience Program (MEEP) launched its Spring cohort. College youth learn how to be floor facilitators and have science conversations with visitors. To begin their preparation, we start with discussing foundational ideas of learning, considering visitor behaviors and getting aquainted with current understandings of visitor flow from evaluation. To learn more about what else we cover, check out the article that goes into detail. https://lnkd.in/girFZ8xa
Interested in science & technology museums? Then you might like to read 'unquestionably the best book so far published on the subject' (as judged by Robert Anderson in the latest _British Journal for the History of Science_). Nice. https://lnkd.in/emvDDtet
SPS Emerita Professor Dr. Kelly Tzoumis, along with her research collaborators Dr. Cynthia Boyer from INU Champollion (France) and Dr. Henry H. Fowler from Navajo Technical University, recently published a study examining the Diné (Navajo) community's experiences with the environmental impact of uranium mining and extraction on their tribal lands. The research utilized Superfund interviews as primary data, complemented by archival information from institutions like the Smithsonian, Heard Museum, and Navajo Nation Museum.
