What I do
My PhD is being conducted under the Usable Image project, a 3 year EPSRC funded project to improve the usability of imaging software for molecular cell biologists. These scientists generate huge quantities of images of cellular processes using a variety of different kinds of microscopy system. However until recently storing, managing and using that data has been difficult and inefficient. The Usable Image project is working in collaboration with a team of scientists and developers on a suite of applications called OMERO which aim to tackle that design problem.

Interests
My work is questioning how cell biology scientists use their laboratory book, a document which scientists use to write and record their experiments. The work aims to build an understanding of why an electronic version of a laboratory book has still not yet been widely adopted – despite numerous efforts to do so.
My initial research has involved questioning how scientists use their paper laboratory books, and investigating the existing work and literature on electronic laboratory books. With the insight and understanding gained from this my aim is to redefine the design and concept of the electronic laboratory book. I also hope this work will contribute to our understanding of how the use of ethnography may be applied strategically to design of future E-Science applications.
