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.

It was an absolute blast to spend some time with the FabLab community at El Guona, Egypt off the coast of Red Sea – with 400 participants from around the world. The FabLab network has been part of my past life – and it was wonderful to reconnect with old friends (Sherry, Nadya and others) and make new ones (Leo, Jens..) – so many more that it’s hard to make a list.
I ended up running three long workshops (for three consecutive days). It was amazing. I will write a detailed note – but here is some of the action.
Here is a little preview of the kind of data fab15 participants were collecting – here is a beating heart!
