à Paris

We are all very excited in our lab to have had two posters and a presentation accepted for the 15th International Congress on the Deterioration and Conservation of Stone. We will be presenting on our bioreceptivity work and asking people to join our efforts to produce an international database of stone bioreceptivity. We will also be showing how bioreceptivity testing can be used to help characterise the effects biocides and conservation treatments on stone.
