We're thrilled to bring you this episode of The Microscopists with an absolute force in accessible science and microscopy innovation—Manu Prakash of Stanford University.

Manu shares the origin of the now-legendary $1 paper microscope, the Foldscope.

He also discusses the importance of making science hands-on and accessible, his passion for fieldwork, and explains why he has barnacles growing in his bathroom!
