Congratulations @TeamFoldscope @PrakashLab 🎉
Today marks exactly 10 years of start of an incredible journey of @TeamFoldscope - we have grown older and wiser and so has our curiosity. To everyone who has supported curiosity over this last decade - thank you! 🙏🏾 see https://t.co/eFcC8ezVG0 and dive into the world of small.

Adding to this celebration, I participated in @resimpacademy training & conference about "research impact" in Nov. I shared impact of Foldscope in that term, which from research turned into a real life application to all the way enabling public engagement initiatives e.g. in Iraq

Manu Prakesh (of $1 #foldscope fame) guest stars on #TheMicroscopists. Quite incredible drive & desire for making science hands-on and accessible. He also talks about his passion for fieldwork, & explains why he has barnacles growing in his bathroom! Stream -

On 20th Nov 2025, we facilitated microscopy sessions at @CemasteaKenya #STEM Boot Camp, where learners used Foldscopes to investigate the microscopic world. Students assembled the paper microscopes, prepared their own samples, and used their phones to capture #microphotographs.

The sessions were designed to cultivate an explorer mindset. Learners were encouraged to slow down, observe carefully, and make sense of what they found. #microscopy #foldscopes #STEM

Christmas came early to the K-5 science and STEAM educators at @isschools! I had a great time working with these passionate teachers who are now ready to confidently put #Foldscopes into the hands of their students! @TeamFoldscope

This week I had a great time sharing @TeamFoldscope resources with @SpartanburgD7 science educators and the @RockHillSchools 7th graders at the career day hosted by @RawlinsonRoadMS! Inspiring educators and students one microscopic view at a time!

Imagine a world where our students think of science not as a list of vocabulary words, but rather as a series of beautiful images. Read this Microcosmos post, grab some art supplies & a #Foldscope, & start creating & discovering! #ArtsIntegration

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: https://t.co/azKZQcd68A

New observations reveal how microscopic organisms move through polar ice and illustrate how they may have evolved to thrive in extreme environments.
