(2/2) Mystery of life in ice in simple language: 'Even single-celled algae manage to survive under these conditions; yet, spinach or lettuce, in a garden during an early frost, or in a refrigerator and too close to outflow vent, will burst its cells.'

(1/2) After spending time in frozen ice in the Arctic and puzzling over it with remarkable collaborators, we got some good news - #HFSP24 - highly collaborative project to understand one of the fastest disappearing ecosystem. It's a race against time. hfsp.org/node/75192#boo…

We have a lab tradition to do yearly recaps - in a goofy way - to reflect/celebrate the humanity behind all the science. A little bit of inner life of a Prakazoan. Kudos to Rebecca Konte in the lab for keeping this tradition alive. Sharing 2023 edition.

📣 New blog post! This 'Foldscope in the Classroom' blog is all about Dr. Marie Clark Taylor 🌱

Full article at buff.ly/42XgG08 --> 'Dr. Marie Clark Taylor was a botanist who studied the effect of light on plant growth. But she also had an impact on science education!'

What a remarkable day - thanks so much for everyone who stopped by. So many tools, people and artistic and scientific practices represented under one roof (or staircase to be specific). Stanford Arts rocks!! Lots to share soon!

❤️ that #Foldscopes are being used to reach 100 students in Columbia!
We hope this inspires you to reach more students in your area with Foldscopes, too!

Currently underway in #CapeTown & #Nairobi ICGEB Official African Institute for Capacity Development (AICAD) partnership on outreach with online foldscope training over next two days, led by #ICGEB CapeTown Mariet Wium

'Inspirational' is used a lot, by us and others. But today’s talks by Stephen Luby and Manu Prakash  as part of our Science Leadership Program exceed the definition. Thank you. Search up their work and be inspired: lubylab.stanford.edu + web.stanford.edu/group/prakash-…

Congratulations to graduate student Megan K Chong from our lab who received a UCSF Dean’s Award for Excellence in Mentoring! Megan is an inspiring mentor to many in our lab and out. And congrats to all other awardees! Graduate Division

I came back from Gordon Research Conferences with a Foldscope gifted by Manu Prakash. Now I'm drawn to the small world 🦠

It was an honor to teach at the « West African Regional Workshop on Malaria control and elimination » at Institute Pasteur in Dakar, Senegal. Meeting 20 brilliant young scientists across 8 different countries pursuing amazing ideas in malaria control and elimination.

My home office/lab space looks great w/ wall art inspired by my #Foldscope pictures!! I ❤️ how clear the cell walls & nuclei appear in the images!

We love those expressions when people first look through a #Foldscope !

New Year, New Adventures: Manu Prakash, our co-founder, spent some time in Peru, where he used the Foldscope as a tool to ignite curiosity among the local community. If you would like to support our mission, please consider making a donation buff.ly/47SvAGl

Brief stay in Lima, coinciding with Manu Prakash’s talk at my undergraduate university Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia

The world knows Manu Prakash as the ' #foldscope guy'. Last I spoke with him, he was toying around with the leaves of a sturdy #succulent . And this time, it was for a new (read: cool) project.

A quick glimpse of Foldscope Workshop at 'comunidad nativa infierno', Peruvian Amazon. Just a small taste of what we can accomplish if we all can work together towards positive change. Thank you Moore Foundation for believing in this vision. maps.app.goo.gl/xnSYx5zAEewezU…
