So many new followers in the wake of the tw****r death spiral! A bit about me: Faculty & PI at the Archaeometry Lab at the MU Research Reactor. I specialize in provenance and materials characterization in archaeological science. I'm a neutron/X-ray/mass-spec/Raman nerd. I use those techniques... 🏺🧵
