An Alternative: Tracing the<br />
<strong>Stellar</strong> <strong>Mass</strong> Build-up Directly<br />
•Need observations in rest-frame optical/NIR<br />
•Measures “older” light<br />
•More sensitive to lower mass stars<br />
•less IMF dependence<br />
•Less affected by extinction<br />
•Must observe in near-IR/MIR<br />
