Nice to have company in store today. Kai is getting to grips with curatorial work; often overlooked, but which is essential to keeping the collection ticking over for teaching and research. More boxes labelled up ✅️👍🏻 @GeologyLeics @LeicesterGeog

I'm not often caught on camera (haha), but I thoroughly enjoyed taking alumni behind the scenes, for our centenary celebrations, chatting in store about the amazing collection resource we hold, that underpins teaching and research
