Dear Paolo, Some weeks ago I saved your post. I’m a member of NatsCa from some years, and I receive informations about activities. But, for the moment I never had the possibility to assist. The topics of the 15th June seminar are of special interest for us. The application of Nagoya protocol will be soon in Spain, we are waiting some legislation. These next weeks will take out the radioactive minerals and the asbestos from the exhibition cases of our permanent exhibition. And will decide if they continue exhibited or not. If exhibited, we will have to change the protection of each specimen. I visited a lot of natural history museums, but I don’t remember how radioactive minerals are exposed. I’m zoologist. Also we are legalising the exposed zoological specimens belonging to CITES species. For all this reasons, if possible, we would have access to any summary of the seminar. Thank you in advance Eulàlia _______________________________________________________ Eulàlia Garcia-Franquesa Head of collections Nat-Museu de Ciències Naturals de Barcelona Nat-Museo de Ciencias Naturales de Barcelona Nat-Natural Sciences Museum of Barcelona Laboratori de Natura Pg Picasso s/n 08003 Barcelona Tel 93 2562202 [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>t De: The Natural Science Collections Association discussion list [mailto:[log in to unmask]] En nom de Paolo Viscardi Enviat: dimarts, 17 / maig / 2016 11:24 Per a: [log in to unmask] Tema: Natural Science Collections & the Law Hello all, just a quick reminder that there are still places on the Natural Science Collections & the Law seminar in Bristol on 15th June.
