NiC caught up with Shellie Cleaver, author of the hilarious comic strip “The Conservator versus Life” to talk about the idea behind the blog and the book. Following on, Paola Ricciardi provides a comprehensive review of Non-Invasive Analysis of Painted Surfaces, a two-day international symposium held in Washington DC, in February 2014. Finally a reminder that the next available date for submission of articles to NiC is July 1st; if you are thinking of contributing get in touch at news@iiconservation.org Enjoy!
