What did you do during the Easter break? While eating plenty of Easter eggs, Gerrit has been working on building a Mothbox (https://digital-naturalism-laboratories.github.io/Mothbox/) 🛠️🌍

We’ve been looking for a project that resonates with our passion for #CitizenScience, and we think the Mothbox is it. Stay tuned for the build results! 🛠️✨ If all goes well, we'll be adding these to our store lineup.

Why moths? They’re incredible bioindicators, telling us so much about the health of our ecosystem.

Just in time for me to take on my travels to #fosdem a new @rpimag appears! My bits this month are a build log of the amazing #Pioreactor kit from @labcrafter (representatives of which will be at FOSDEM!). As well as the 2nd part of my bigger budget #underwaterROV build where I retrofit an old Sony #camera dive case with a Pi Camera setup! #making #reuse #biosciences #bioreactor

Heading to FOSDEM in Brussels at the end of the month? So are we! 🇧🇪

Gerrit is joining the OpenFlexure Microscope stand at FOSDEM, and he isn’t coming empty-handed. He’ll have a limited supply of LabCrafter OFM kits available for purchase on the spot! First come, first served.
