This article contains an interview with Petra Slinkard, the Nancy B. Putnam Curator of Fashion and Textiles at the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, Massachusetts. Ms. Slinkard is the first to hold this position at the museum and has held it since February 2018. Prior to this, Ms. Slinkard was the Curator of Costume at the Chicago History Museum. She has a Bachelor of Science in Fashion Merchandising, a Bachelor of Arts in Art History, and a Master of Science in Fashion/Textile History. Over the course of almost ten years, leadership at the museum endeavored to create a plan that would mobilize its fashion and textile collection and reinvigorate its active collecting of fashion objects. This year, the museum opened a new wing that has allocated a specific venue for showcasing exhibitions dedicated to the exploration of its fashion collection. What follows are excerpts from a conversation between the author and the curator. Topics include the Fashion and Textile Collection at the Peabody Essex Museum, the new Fashion and Design Gallery, and the accessibility of the institution’s collection.

Diffusion Of Impurities

The use of lasers for surface annealing, heating and/or damage has become a routine practice in the study of materials. Lasers have been closely looked at as an annealing technique for silicon and other semiconductors. They allow for local heating from a beam which can be focused and tuned to different wavelengths for specific tasks. Pulsed dye lasers allow for short, quick bursts which can allow the sample to be rapidly heated and quenched. This short, rapid heating period may be important for cases where diffusion of impurities or dopants may not be desirable.At Northwestern University, a Candela SLL - 250 pulsed dye laser, with a maximum power of 1 Joule/pulse over 350 - 400 nanoseconds, has been set up in conjunction with a Hitachi UHV-H9000 transmission electron microscope. The laser beam is introduced into the surface science chamber through a series of mirrors, a focusing lens and a six inch quartz window.

ABSTRACT: In spite of his many other interests, Edward Heron-Allen also worked for nearly 50 years as a scientist on minute shelled protists, called foraminifera, much of it in an unpaid, unofficial capacity at The Natural History Museum, London, and notably in collaboration with Arthur Earland. During this career he published more than 70 papers and obtained several fellowships, culminating in 1919 in his election to the Royal Society. Subsequently, he bequeathed his foraminiferal collections and fine library to the Museum, and both are housed today in a room named in his honour. In this paper, for the first time, an assessment of his scientific accomplishments is given, together with a full annotated bibliography of his publications held in the Heron-Allen Library. This is part of a project to produce a bibliography of his complete publications, recently initiated by the Heron-Allen Society.
