I think this tweet from Ana Catarina summed things up well:
One of the most notable projects Manu has worked on is the Foldscope bringing microscopy to regions of the world without the need for expensive equipment.

As well as this one from Jeffrey Maloy:How you are labelled is not where you belong - great discussion about multidisciplinarity in Science with @PrakashLab #ASMicrobe— AnaCatarina da Silva (@7ASilva) June 8, 2018

His talk was inspiring. I have a two year old and you better bet my child will be getting a foldscope!The foldscope at work! @manuprakash points out that these images are unposed - this tool is allowing people around the world to experience that Aha!
