ImageJ is amazing

A long time ago in a lab about 20 miles away, I was working for a company called Mediwatch to develop a new micro-array platform that was internally named Zero-flow. It was a nifty little device that was excellent at controlling the flow of a sample over a sensor system. Read more…

Good (paper) lab book house keeping

A few weeks back, I asked the community at large for advice on where to go to set up an online open lab book. The response was fantastic and I have a whole list of places to look to for online support. However, before I jump in to the deep Read more…

Busy

Sorry about this but there is no proper blog post sorted for this week. My free time this week has been spent dabbing a small child with calamine lotion after he declared on sunday morning that he “feels a bit itchy’. Normally when my free time/personal life is a bit Read more…

Openly peak detecting

Those who don’t care about data processing might want to look away now. I’d like to think this post will be engaging for many different people and the work I discuss is highly transferable but let’s be honest – if you aren’t interested in getting more information out of data, Read more…

The hedgehog of inspiration

The idea that innovation in science comes only from a dry study of journal papers and very slow iterative research is just simply not true. I start with this statement because I have lost track of the number of times I see this idea come up in conversations, newspapers and Read more…

Fiber/re optic infographic

I still plan on doing a detailed follow up to my previous post about fiber optics and their history but, in the mean time I have made a nice little infographic with some interesting facts about fiber optics, enjoy! (click on it to make it larger).

Resolution

It’s a brand new day in a nice shiny new year and like almost every other blog on the internet my first post is a list of semi-ambitious resolutions. I would have been more creative but I’ve only been back in the office about 20 mins and every time I Read more…

A Photonicly perfect Christmas tree

This week is our last week of work before breaking for the Christmas/New year holiday. As it’s the last week, the office has taken on a decidedly festive air (someone had a christmas card on their desk) and I was thinking how we could make our work more seasonally appropriate. Read more…

That darn vortex ring

Despite a  plea to the internet community at large in a previous posted titled “Vortex rings – suggestions please” no one came forward with any explanation of my splitting vortex rings. As popular as our little blog is, it wasn’t popular enough to reach any fluidics experts that could help Read more…

Artistically linked research

Last week I read an excellent blog post by Johanna Kieniewicz on PLOS.org about the combination of art and science. The post details why blending art and science is important and how it can be highly productive for both groups. I am not very artistic (as my previous drawings demonstrate) but Read more…
