What an amazing time both @isba11.bsky.social and the @paastacommunity.bsky.social pre-ISBA conference last week were! Not entirely sure what I was doing here, but the rest of the time I thoroughly enjoyed chatting with old and new colleagues, listening to amazing science, and eating delicious food.

A photo of me giving a talk at ISBA last week. One day I will learn how to talk without gesturing wildly, but apparently that day has not yet arrived. Photo by Leire Torres Iglesias.

🧵 Thread: 1️⃣/ Caroline Tokarski delivering a masterclass on how #massspec revolutionises our understanding of cultural materials! Her slide perfectly encapsulates the multifaceted insights we can extract - from artist intention to societal context. #teammasspec #heritage

Caroline in a patterned dress presents to an audience in a tiered lecture theatre with curved wooden seating. The projection screen shows a colorful diagram with molecular structures and text about "MATERIALS (ID, Modification)" including bullet points about understanding artist intention, artwork changes, treatment effects, and societal context. Attendees sit on wooden benches taking notes, with laptops open throughout the amphitheatre.
