Saturday morning and troubleshooting homemade spectrometer on how to get a nice spectrum is so fun. We are using this low-cost tech for freshwater ‘Algal Bloom Monitoring’ driven by ‘Citizen Science’ @OpenFieldC

Meet Poonam Verma, a science teacher from Bulandshahr, UP India, who is participant of OFC's algal bloom project working tirelessly with her students to monitor algal bloom in their local waterbody. #algalbloom #algae #frugal #citizenscience

The Free Press Journal talks about OFC's new project by @Edurafi, have come up with a technique to modify a #foldscope and make it detect #microplastics in air/dust and educate the children about environmental problems caused by #plastics.

All this was made possible due to all the ground work and extensive planning by the team of co-founders @sayakb66 @IkbalChoudhur20 @Ankita_13Jha @aankitddwivedi and @khannakanika111. All of them have never met in person and have been working together for more than a 2 yrs)

Hello everyone! We are delighted to update on the progress we have made in last few months. So far our in our Algal bloom monitoring project we have trained 150+teachers and reached out to around 600+ students in the US, India and Bangladesh!!

@IkbalChoudhur20 @NatureComms A lot of hard work and dedication paying off! Congratulations :D

[Ikbal Choudhury @IkbalChoudhur20]

At @OpenFieldC with @Edurafi we have an upcoming citizen science pilot project on monitoring aerial microplastics using @TeamFoldscope in Mumbai. This is an important problem and needs collaboration with all stakeholders. @NatGeo @India_Alliance @PrinSciAdvGoI @kvijayraghavan

Proud moment!

New results!
Propofol anesthesia alters cortical traveling waves

It caused slow-delta traveling waves to strengthen and travel in different directions. Higher frequency TW weakened and switched to directions where the slow-delta waves were less frequent.

Shoutout to T @amydownsamy & your student explorers. Awesome seeing #CitizenScience in action on your @OpenFieldC Fresh Water Monitoring Algal Bloom Project.

[Open Field Collective @OpenFieldC]

Look at the students exploring diversity and looking at algal bloom 😍 using frugal tools!!
