Life knows how to keep going - even if it’s freezing -15 degrees C 🥶 outside. AGU just covered our discovery of ultra resistant ice diatoms gliding into a world record! Enjoy the story here: eos.org/articles/ice-d…
@KathyAmosYCS @TeamFoldscope @NCBioNetwork great day training for after school programs! Great teachers who received a class set of Foldscopes Minis for each school site!!




Every day is a great day for Foldscope training!

You don’t want to miss this. We will have lots of us Foldscope fellows across the country who have been Foldscoping for years show up at workshops across the country. Signup as soon as possible so we can plan as many stops as possible..
🔬 Free microscopes + teacher training! This fall we’re relaunching our Fast & Curious tour — bringing free Foldscopes (paper microscopes), workshops, and lesson plans to educators across the United States. Each educator will receive free training, a Foldscope to keep, plus…

🔬 Dr. Manu Prakash delivered the 2025 Murty Trust Annual Lecture in Bengaluru, speaking on “From Paper Microscopes to Global Change” and the power of frugal science. Hosted by the National Centre for Biological Sciences (NCBS), the event brought together over 350 students,…

🌏 Foldscope in Nepal Mercer University students brought Foldscopes to classrooms in Nepal, giving hundreds of students their first hands-on experience with microscopy. With support from Dr. Manu Prakash and Foldscope fellow Dr. Rafikh Shaikh, they led workshops across three…

first images are here — such a beautifully designed tool, worked straight out of the box. guess what…. (answers in alt text)


Adventures In Microscopy: Marigold Flower Petals The petals of a marigold are perfect for doing a cast to see the surface features under my #Foldscope 2.0. They may appear smooth, but there is a lot of texture! #FearlessMicroscopy #STEAM #GardenMicroscopy #ScienceIsBeautiful




Did you know tiny algae can "skate" within Arctic sea ice? ⛸️ Our new study in @PNASNews reveals the secret life of ice diatoms: they are not dormant, but actively gliding to navigate the ice! This adds a new dimension to the sea ice ecosystem, revealing an active, dynamic…

always incredible to read the philosophy of Manu Prakash. foldscope, paperfuge, planktonscope, abuzz, inkwell. i'm very likely still missing something that came out from @PrakashLab. quantamagazine.org/how-paradoxica…
It was an inspiring weekend interacting with Manu Prakash & listening to stories of curiosity & exploration. His thoughts about perceived boundaries & importance of scaling our work gave me a new perspective to my goal of popularising fundamental science ✏️bit.ly/4nldGDY

A wonderful interview in @QuantaMagazine with Manu Prakash, whose achievements include diagnosing malaria from the spectrum of infected blood cells, making a microscope for $1, and discovering photosynthetic algae that rise and fall in the water column by inflating like balloons.
Throwing it back to the days of developing PlanktoScope prototype at the @PrakashLab - @Stanford, little did I know that Manu Prakash mention of PlanktoScope #100 would one day turn into reality! 🌱 @ManuPra18599785 @fairscope_ @planktoscope #DreamsComeTrue

Noting that science-based problem solving should take an inclusive approach, Manu Prakash, professor at Stanford University, said people should have access to the right set of tools. trib.al/OxJRAeX
Annals Of Engineering Manu Prakash's Recreational Biology: quantamagazine.org/how-paradoxica…

In 2014, Manu Prakash invented Foldscope, the world’s cheapest microscope, built primarily from a piece of paper. “In science, many people feel that they don’t have a voice, and the Foldscope community is a way that you can use creativity to distinguish yourself — not your…


🔬 Not just pocket microscopes — Dr. Manu Prakash’s lab has built low-cost ventilators, repurposed cotton-candy machines to manufacture masks, and even used desert plants to develop fully recyclable menstrual products. 🧵👇 (1/3)

The Power of Frugal Science workshop at JAIN (Deemed-to-be University), in collaboration with NCBS and CUBEC, featured Prof. Manu Prakash, Prof. L.S. Shashidhara, and Dr. Asha Rajiv, inspiring accessible and innovative approaches to science education. #JAINUniversity #SoS




Yesterday, I had the privilege of listening to Manu Prakash of Foldscope. Honestly, I went in expecting the usual slides full of jargon and graphs I'd pretend to understand. But I braved the Bengaluru rain and traffic, and I'm so glad I did. After a warm introduction by Prof.…
