  1. Oha!

    Für medizinische Aufgaben kostet eine spezifische Maschine ~18.000$.

    "It's Triggy" erschuf durch das Prinzip von "Frugal Science" ein Gerät mit identischer Funktionalität - für gerade mal ~250$!

    Zitat (englisch):
    "I built a 96-channel pipetting device inspired by an $18k commercial system, using 3D printing, laser cutting, and off-the-shelf parts. Total cost: about $250. This video shows the design, build, and testing process."

    Genial!

  2. #^Why Frugal Science Matters Worldwide
    Frugal science expands traditional science by prioritising inclusion and practical capability over cost. But structural biases and lack of institutional support hinder its growth. Mainstreaming frugal science in India requires dedicated support systems, making innovation more accessible for all.

  3. It was great to talk to Adam Larson from FairScope at #OS2024 for @cosmicshambles.com The Planktoscopes are open-source, use cheap components, high quality and designed to bring the world of the small to everyone. If ocean/river plankton is your thing (professional researcher or interested citizen), do take a look. We were really impressed with their work to make science more accessible:
