The value of diagnostic imaging for enhancing primary care in low- and middle-income countries Medical imaging is a critical diagnostic modality with diverse applications. Many countries are already using AI-assisted chest x-rays (CXR) for tuberculosis (TB) screening. Point-of-care ultrasound (...

We need easier access to imaging at the primary care level

DIYNAFLUOR: An Affordable DIY Plug-and-Play Nucleic Acid Fluorometer for eDNA Quantification in Resource Limited Settings Nucleic Acid (NA) fluorometry is widely employed for quantifying environmental DNA (eDNA) samples and their downstream DNA sequencing libraries, owing to its sensitivity, accuracy, and speed. However,...

A Preprint for our ~$40 USD, open source, 3D printed DNA Fluorometer, the #DIYNAFLUOR, has just been posted to bioRxiv outlining its performance and applications for #eDNA analysis!🦕🧪🧬

A big thanks to all the co-authors!

Scientists in Latin America struggle to get key chemicals and other reagents for experiments. A group has begun to help Several leaders of a multinational effort expanding access to essential lab materials discuss its impact and a major funding boost

Getting reagents is a nightmare for scientists in Latin America. But now, a group—Reclone—has begun to help. I spoke with Reclone leaders for a new Q&A in @science.org www.science.org/content/arti...

Latin American journals are open-access pioneers. Now, they need an audience SciElo, other platforms work to help journals reach readers around the world

Latin America is a leader in nonprofit open-access, with pioneering platforms like Scielo and Redalyc. But it still struggles to have their journals valued at home, as researchers’ perfomances often depend on them publishing on mainstream commercial journals.

Hey #HiSciSky 👋.

I'm a post-doc researcher with a background in scientific device dev.

I have just released an open-source STEM-Education project for a $40, 3D-printed, DNA fluorometer with ng/uL levels of sensitivity. Follow for updates!

Segment Anything for Microscopy YouTube video by I2K Conference

You can now watch the I2K video tutorial on #micro-sam by @anwaiarchit.bsky.social on YouTube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=dxjU... Check it out for an in-depth explanation for how to use our tool to segment your microscopy images.

As an end-user, I confirm these features.

While I was looking for heater designs, I found @vsaggiomo.bsky.social article about a K.I.S.S. instrument for LAMP analysis. Once you have the components, it takes less than a hour to reproduce the design.

A map of all locations the OpenFlexure Microscope has been built or used in. 58 countries/territories on all seven continents are highlighted in pink.

Hello BlueSky.

The OpenFlexure Project is an open source project that allows anyone to build a robotic microscope anywhere in the world.

So far people have told us that they have built or used an OpenFlexure Microscope in 50+ countries. Have you built or used one in a country that isn't pink yet?
