We've been filming the next #OpenHardware tutorials for our #LIBREhub YouTube channel. I hope you will be as excited as me when they come out soon! @latambioimaging.bsky.social @cziscience.bsky.social www.youtube.com/channel/UCKa...

We are looking for a new team member!

Estamos buscando un nuevo Gestor de comunicaciones para el proyecto LIBRE Hub, particularmente para hacer nuestros videos del canal YouTube www.youtube.com/@librehub! Postulaciones abiertas!

Awesome event for microscopy democratisation. Sign up now!

@optophysakhil.bsky.social hey Akhil, great initiative and list! I'd love to be added to the biomedical optics list as well please.

My first meeting with the CIFAR McMillan Multiscale Human programme was very inspiring! So many interesting directions forward to explore! In addition, hosting it in Tokyo was great for science and culture.

How open source instrumentation improves research impact: youtu.be/jGoFX0BDh_I?...

New recruitments coming up! We've been awarded a grant (FONDECYT Regular by ANID) to expand our #microfluidics research to include host-pathogen interactions via #organoids. & we advance our work in label-free #Raman spectroscopy for metabolic analysis. Here's to innovation in biomedical research!

We recorded a treasure hunt in the lab: what makes the glacier lake at the marbel cathedrals in Chile so stunningly blue? All with #OpenHardware #LIBREhub

This year for Christmas... I wish for access to laboratory instruments through appropriate open source technology for all researchers in Latin America and beyond 🙏

👏 Nice use case! This is why we build #OpenHardware resources. Help yourselves to them: www.printables.com/model/562326...

High-speed microscopy photos and microfluidic droplet for everyone! Our instrument design is now on Printables www.printables.com/model/647564... #ApproptiateTechnology #OpenHardware #LIBREhub

Maximize lab space with style! 🧬🔬The first Gridinity orgaizers for @OpenUc2 optics cubes and inserts - by #WenzelLab Matías #OpenHardware www.printables.com/model/635569... P.s.: Fits IKEA helmer drawers!

Two more years #LIBREhub with this awesome team!

My research in 90 simple words:

So awesome that Astromelia flowers are native in Chile!

Well... originally that nest was for our baby 😅

Adding the third LED driver to our #OpenHardware SQUID microscope! Soon the lights will go on!

And tools!

We modified 3d printed gridfinity containers to organise our screws by type! So useful and much easiert to pick the screws out! Soon available on the WenzelLab profile of Printables.

Our @OpenUc2 optics tests are advancing and work great for spectroscopy. Next stop: Open source light sheet microscope. #OpenHardware

Spring in Santiago is beautiful and I still take a lot of joy having plants like Kumquat and Lemons in the garden that would not grow well in middle-Europe.
