Light Scattering Spectroscopy of Tissue Phantoms for Applications in Biomedical Sciences
Inelastic light scattering reveals information on an analyte through interactions of atoms or molecules with photons. Micro-mechanical properties of samples are probed with Brillouin microscopy, through interactions of light with acoustic phonons (sound waves), and their chemical information is …

Family caregiving, home medical devices, and the sociotechnical system: Bringing the biomedical sciences into the bioethics discourse
… in these technologies' development and design by biomedical scientists and engineers who create them. These same people, though, are separated from the values and needs of family caregivers, challenging the goals of home care. I will argue they should not be separated since they are not neutral …
