Dear fluid community,

with pleasure I am forwarding the second announcement for the Fluid Symposium scheduled for 5-7 Dec at the MNHN in Paris, France.
https://pfc2018.sciencesconf.org/program

The main purpose of this symposium is to discuss issues in fluid collections and reasons for deterioration we see (and try to avoid), which should be the bases to formulate research needs for the conservation of fluid collections (is this whitish precipitate blooming on my specimens really Cholesterol ?!).

There is no registration fee, participants "only" need to cover own travel costs and expenses.

So don't miss this chance and register soon! Would be happy to see you in Paris in December. Please feel free to share or forward.

Dirk
