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 had an incredible time staying a short time on Tara. What an incredible gift to the scientific community. Wonderful boat filled with wonderful people.
Got a chance to train kids and Tara staff on Foldscoping. The boat is off to Mexico and Panama; with an incredible diversity of oceanic life. Thibaut from the lab – will be onboard. I can’t wait for following his adventures on board.
Get ready to watch adventures at sea.
Cheers
Manu
