Optimizing photoactivation of PA‐mCherry for optical pooled CRISPR screens
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Photoactivatable PA‐mCherry finds widespread use to optically tag individual cells. However, confocal 405 nm UV laser‐scanning (normal scan) is much less efficient than widefield UV illumination, limiting the use of PA‐mCherry on confocal instruments. We remedy this limitation by reporting that rapid and repeated confocal scanning with a low‐intensity,

IDENTIFYING WITH NUMBERS: A PHILOSOPHICAL AND PSYCHOANALYTICAL READING OF SELF-IDENTIFICATION
Studia Universitatis Babeș-Bolyai. Philosophia, 2017 The need to identify, name, count and categorize predates the rise of technology. With the wearable device, our relationship to numbers is far more complex: data flows back and forth amongst devices, consumers, companies, institutions, and networks. One

The Artist as Model User:Reflections on Creating with a Quantified Self [PDF]
, 2019 The idea of the ‘model user’ is well established in Computer Science. However, the usual practice of establishing a model user might not be appropriate within the context of personal data where such models are potentially limiting and exclusory.
