  A new, general formalism to include experimental data in revised stellar
rates is discussed, containing revised uncertainties. Application to the
s-process shows that the actual uncertainties in the neutron capture rates can
be larger than would be expected from the experimental errors alone. As a
specific example for how astrophysical conclusions can depend on the approach
selected to derive stellar rates, the 151Eu/(151Eu+153Eu) abundance ratio from
AGB star models is presented. Finally, a recommended workflow for the
derivation of stellar rates from experiment is laid out.
