Abstract
Observations of stellar chemical compositions enable us to identify connections between
globular clusters and stellar populations in the Milky Way. In particular, chemical abundance
ratios provide detailed insight into the chemical enrichment histories of star clusters and the
field populations. For some elements, there are striking differences between field and cluster
stars which reflect different nucleosynthetic processes and/or chemical evolution. The goal of
this talk was to provide an overview of similarities and differences in chemical compositions
between globular clusters and the Milky Way as well as highlighting a few areas for further
examination.
