Stephen was such a wonderful colleague. I had the pleasure of attending his workshops and always appreciated his kindness in responding to my inquiries about glass treatments. His B-72 adhesive and glass book and other developments were game changers in the conservation field. My heartfelt condolences to you, Julian and Jeremy. I will miss him. Most Sincerely.

ElShabrawy, a Lecturer Assistant and PhD candidate at Cairo University's Faculty of Archaeology. As a crucial part of my PhD research, I am developing a responsible AI framework for the conservation and documentation of historical wall paintings. To ensure this framework addresses real-world challenges rather than just theoretical ideals, I deeply need your expert insights. I have prepared a short survey (approx. 5 minutes) focusing on the ethical use of AI, preventing algorithmic bias, and ensuring the human conservator retains final authority. Please support my PhD study by completing the survey here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe66MtmloYINHhVF_v5Oc-B24MhuTvW7R7mjntJEbfxAjBYTA/viewform?usp=dialog Your practical experience is vital to the success of this research. Thank you so much for your time and support! Best regards, Ahmed M.

Message: Almost every day I see someone posting to ask for particular survey participation — and this is an ideal place to ask— but I just don't see that anyone shares the results of their survey. I think it's informative and raises awareness of the research topics if we can see the results, but I just don't see anyone doing it. What am I missing? Is it confidentiality? If anyone can explain why no one seems to share survey results, I would truly appreciate it. Many thanks in advance! ------------------------------ Hiro Keitora Owner Operator New York United States ------------------------------ You are subscribed to "Global Conservation Forum (ConsDistList)" as [email protected].
