Holly's work demonstrrating a practical solution for fibre optical SERS pH sensing with good signal strengths, also combined with bacterial sampling. Nice to see this coming out in the Analyst. https://doi.org/10.1039/C8AN01322E

Three talks in a row at Photon18 this year from me and my students. Katjana gives an invited talk on time resolved spectroscopy. Helen covers the latest results on multispectral imaging. I give an overview of medical device location with time resolved single photon imaging.   Should be fun.....

We had a strong presence at Photics Europe this year with a trio of talks. Nice to network within the EU. Multispectral fibre endoscope imaging system for enhanced visualisation of smartprobes (Conference Presentation) Helen Parker; James M. Stone; Tom Speight; Robert R. Thomson; Kevin Dhaliwal; Nikola Krstajić; Michael G. Tanner https://doi.org/10.1117/12.2307563   Time-resolved single photon …

Helen Parker won both the gold for the physics category, and was the overall winner of the whole STEM for Britain competition at Westminster. Nice! Now we just need to write the paper..... http://www.setforbritain.org.uk/2018winnersphotos.asp http://www.setforbritain.org.uk/2018psr/HParker%20-%20STEMforBritain.pdf

Time resolved spectroscopy for enhancing single optic fibre miniaturised probes. Nice work form Katjana.     https://doi.org/10.1364/OE.25.030976

The headine isn't exactly as I would describe it, but wide press attention for the medical device locating camera. Nice to get the coverage: Nice piece on the BBC website (and many others). https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-edinburgh-east-fife-41140654 Few radio interviews (Radio4, World Service). BBC TV. Physics world gives a fuller solid article. https://physicsworld.com/a/single-photons-pinpoint-objects-inside-living-tissue/ and more below. Now back …

Our new way to locate medical devices deep inside tissue just published in BOE. We're very excited about this. https://www.osapublishing.org/boe/abstract.cfm?uri=boe-8-9-4077

Investigating the limiting factors in endoscopic imaging with coherent fibre bundles. Important work, thoroughly done. Nice work Helen and Antonios. https://www.osapublishing.org/oe/abstract.cfm?uri=oe-25-10-11932  

Adi and I are very happy to get this out there, we think it's pretty neat..... https://www.osapublishing.org/boe/abstract.cfm?uri=boe-8-1-243
