The Provocateurs: I like big peaks / Hookers for Jesus

Kellie Hodge (The University of Edinburgh) reveals how mass spectrometry uncovers the hidden molecular stories across research, art, and space—from ground-breaking discoveries to priceless masterpieces and distant planets. Discover the invisible chemistry shaping our health, culture, and understanding of the universe.

Dr Jo Thor (The University of Edinburgh) journeys from Annie Lobert’s ‘Hookers for Jesus’ ministry in modern Las Vegas to Victorian Scotland’s Magdalene asylums - prayer, work, refuge. Were they pioneering social care for prostitutes, or moral control? What should we borrow today?
