Abstract
The chemical evolution of galaxies is governed by the chemical yields from stars, and here we focus on the important contributions from asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars. AGB nucleosynthesis is, however, still riddled with complexities. Observations from post-asymptotic giant branch (post-AGB) stars serve as exquisite tools to quantify and understand AGB nucleosynthesis. In this contribution, we review the invaluable constraints provided by post-AGB stars with which to study AGB nucleosynthesis, especially the slow neutron capture nucleosynthesis (i.e., the s-process).
