However, I think those methods of triggering opsins are rather invasive (implants). I don't think it would be hard to design light activated opsins to recieve frequencies in the optical window of skin/bone. If I remember correctly the human body is somewhat resistant genetic transfection, so we have that going for us, which is great.
There is an optical window for skin in the near infrared band.

Bone optical windows are being explored though that has some interference with water.

He was a real cool guy.
Wonder what data they collect from gamers.

*Enhancing Nuclear Analytical Techniques to Meet the Needs of Forensic Science’ (F11021)*
https://www.iaea.org/projects/crp/d52040
>This project will consider applications based on hand-held and portable devices including (but not limited to) ion mobility spectrometry (IMS), near infra-red (NIR) and X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectrometers and some bench-top laboratory instruments that have become ‘field’ transportable including laser induced breakdown spectrometry (LIBS), laser ablation molecular isotopic spectrometry (LAMIS), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, mass spectrometry (MS) and multi-spectral imaging (MSI). This CRP is conducted jointly with the Nuclear Sciences Instrumentation Laboratory under CRP G42007.

>ion and neutron beam techniques for elemental and molecular analysis is well established and such services are available through a great number of laboratories in the IAEA Member States operating ion beam accelerator or research reactor centers
Isotope spectroscopy I knew of:
For carbon/water isotope determination with spectroscopy you can use cavity ring-down spectroscopy (CRDS) for gas state stable isotopes (water, CO, CO2, CH4). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cavity_ring-down_spectroscopy https://www.picarro.com/environmental/support/literature/mea...
Picaro instrument is ok at precision, cleaning is not fun, and matrix effects suck. Laser lifetime leaves much to be desired.

A CEO has to be the face of the company and needs a good reputation. It seems like he was a good leader.
From an outsider it looks wrong.
That conforms to my experience
