2️⃣/ Love how Caroline emphasises the holistic approach: it's not just about identifying materials, but understanding modifications, tracking changes over time, and revealing the human stories behind cultural objects. This is analytical chemistry at its most humanistic.

3️⃣/ The "effect of treatment" aspect is particularly crucial for conservators - knowing how previous interventions have altered artworks helps inform future preservation strategies. #massspec provides that temporal roadmap through chemical fingerprints.
