Why do you want to join the DiveIn community?
My group's work is strongly interdisciplinary and mission-based, and I am keen to join a community of people who share that approach.
Personal profile:
I develop microscopes, using hardware and software engineering to address problems in medical diagnostics and research in a variety of disciplines. My group leads development of the OpenFlexure Microscope, an openly licensed microscope that has been replicated thousands of times around the world in over 50 countries and every continent. Through openly sharing hardware and software, we aim to make science more reproducible and level the playing field when it comes to local production of scientific and medical equipment.
