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 have always enjoyed live narration in sports – such as soccer or cricket. Something about sharing our emotions at the moment as a testament of how we really feel.
During Christmas, I get to hang out with my 4 and 8 year old nephews. Here is what happened in the 7 minutes we filmed a Foldscope session. Some really profound and some really funny things were said – above all, a few kids will always remover what it is to do science and how it feels to observe something and try to interpret it as it happens! I enjoyed doing this, so I thought you all will enjoy watching it.
Turn the volume up and get some pop-corn!
Cheers
Manu
