Doing the self: an ethnographic analysis of the quantified self [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
'Wearables' and 'self-quantifying technologies' are becoming ever more popular and normalised in society as a means of 'knowing' the self. How are these technologies implicated in this endeavour? Using insights from a four year multi-sited ethnography of

Generation and morphological quantification of large scale, three-dimensional, self-assembled vascular networks

open access: yesMethodsX, 2019
One of the largest issues facing the field of tissue engineering is scaling due to tissue necrosis as a result of a lack of vascularization. We have developed an accessible method for generating large scale vascular networks of arbitrary geometries ...

Coupling Quantified Bodies

open access: yesDigital Culture & Society, 2016
The main promise behind the idea of self-quantification is to transform our lives through the continuous collection of numerical evidence about the body and its activity. Although this process may help boost self-knowledge, everyday life also involves a complex network of relations with other bodies that exert a significant, sometimes determining ...
