I am a faculty at Stanford and run the Prakash Lab at Department of Bioengineering at Stanford University. Foldscope community is at the heart of our Frugal Science movement - and I can not tell you how proud I am of this community and grassroots movement.

I just returned from the gulf of Napoli working with an incredible group of collaborators to explore usage of new class of tools for measuring and understanding carbon flux in the ocean - ways the ocean naturally sequesters carbon.

Along the science - sometimes surprises surface. Here are salps that showed up in our CTD - uninvited. So we looked at one under the foldscope..

wonderful surprises of transparent organisms.
cheers
