Thanks Jonathan, and welcome to the community. I heard good things about OpenCon UHAS from Paul and Harry. Good job! I look forward to future collaborations.
Hi all, I’m Jo Havemann, based in Berlin. Also Member of the Global Innovation Gathering and Science Communicatin Trainer at https://access2perspectives.com/ . In April together with a few other GIG ppl Vicy Wenzelmann, Stephen Kovats, Anna Lowe, Jaiksana and Jorge I attended AfricaOSH, which was co-organized by Jorge at Kumasi Hive. Looking forward to learning more about Open Science Hardware and together with you all getting it ubiquitous by 2025!

Hi there!
My name is Anne-Pia (Pia for short). I am French, I study in Geneva and am currently in exchange in Beijing! I study innovation, Human development and sustainability : a master’s program that turns its student’s lives into a constant hackathon. I have a background in natural sciences. I’ve done an internship in Shenzhen a couple years ago to study makerspaces and how their collaboration with universities could help foster student solving open challenges and I’ve stayed around the maker culture since then. I’de like to get more involved into OScH, I give a hand to @Emmanuel for his air pollution project and I am looking forward to meet you all !
Greetings! My name is Jessica Leete. I am a landscape architect, urban designer, and educator interested in getting the tools for environmental testing in the hands of students and citizens for help monitoring before and after conditions of large scale open space and infrastructure projects in China, Southeast Asia, and Africa and for micro scale urban conditions in the U.S. I currently teach urban ecology and landscape performance at the Boston Archtectural College where we have a beautifully diverse student body. Recently I put an early prototype air-bot using arduino on display as part of an installation titled ‘dust to dust, the air we breath’ in an invited art exhibit ‘Interdependence’.
Public Lab barnraising events and their desktop spectrometry kit introduced me to the potential of open science hardware. I have worked with SKLEC (State Key Laboratory for Estuarine and Coastal Research) at East China Normal University in Shanghai to collaborate on a project in Taizhou and will potentially be working with Zhejiang University and the China Art Academy in the coming school year teaching ecological systems and situated ecology technology to architecture and landscape architecture students. Looking forward to learning from all of you and the opportunity to collaborate particularly on air, water, and soil quality.

Open Source Hardware Project
Hello, Martin name is Martin Oloo of Fablab Winam which is an innovation hardware space for digital fabrication and prototyping with focus on local manufacturing. I am glad to be a member and be contributors and users of the Open Science hardware development. WE currently run Fab Academy training which an international MOOC on digital Fabrication by Fablabs, STEAM for kids which is a hands on skill training to kids at earliest age, branding, fabrication and prototyping among others. We envisioned an fully democratized manufacturing where people gather in a place where they share tools and ideas and buld solutions to their communities

Hey Everyone,
It’s a pleasure to be surrounded by so many awesome and curious individuals. I’m a recent Phd grad from the university of Ottawa in cell biology. Since graduating, I started my own company called Incuvers. We build incubation systems with an integrated time lapse imaging system that allows users to get live visualization and analytics of their cell cultures (phone or desktop). The idea of the Incuvers platform is that as people start collecting and sharing data, we can begin analytically comparing people’s cell growth in real time, giving them feedback how their cells compare to the rest of the scientific community in real time. And the best part about all this is that our software is OPEN SOURCE! Our PCB board allows users to connect to it, and run their own scripts for whatever sensors or other they want. check it out www.incuvers.com. I’m looking to explore the future of open source biology with everyone at the Toronto conference. What this truly means, and the possibilities and partnerships that can flourish from having so many curious people in the same room. Also… beeeeerrrr. I look forward to meeting you all

Hey everyone
I am NANJE PATRICK ITARNGOH from Cameroon and I am presently a PhD student of physics in the university of Buea. I am working on wind power assessment using the maximum entropy formulation that can help predict quantitative wind power even at very low wind spend. So general we wish to calculate the wind power we can get from areas of very low wind speed.
I am also the founder of the Science Education Center where we encourage young Cameroonians to be engaged in STEM education a very tender ages.
