Support @adi_gajigan to take deploy multiple #planktoscope in Philippines to monitor red tides. Besides immediate benefits of monitoring toxic blooms - this allows us to build a grassroots network in Philippines which we will expand more formally. If you can, please help!
Preparing for Halloween ๐ giveaways - as is tradition, we give #Foldscope instead of candy to truly let the kids see all the scary โtinyโ monsters of the microscopic world! Join in the tradition started by @amymaxmen and friends a few years ago! @mbeisen
(1/n) Doing science - we also make memories & stories. Some stories are told & some stay with us. They donโt have to be consequential - just they tickle us each in special way. For this #PostdocAppreciationWeek - sharing our appreciation of wonderful, young, bold scientists..
Got grant reviews: โNot Discussedโ - Mustered courage to read. In short it said what we do is โesotericโ & irrelevant to broader science community. Words hurt! But it also reminded me of exact same reviews for what we did 10 years ago (Foldscope)! We pick ourselves and carry on!

Time sensitive: If you know someone in Bay Area who is COVID+ve; please consider requesting them to participate in our study on weekend (link below). Will take 15min. We still need new affordable tools to detect and fight COVID globally - war against COVID is not won yet! Pls RT.
[1/n] 10 days ago we first shared blueprint of O2 conservation devices in context of #OxygenShortage; today we are releasing "Anmo2l" (means priceless in Hindi) - a ready to scale open design capable of saving 50-70% oxygen during O2 therapy. See https://t.co/piRCT8GhMb details.
In the middle of acute oxygen shortage in India (likely be true for South-Asia); we are trying to respond by releasing open source solutions to conserve 50% O2 for treatment of mild COVID patients. Sharing Project OxSave - a passive solution to the problem https://t.co/e14jO8pENv
