Dear GOSH Community,
I am writing today to provide an update on the recently formed Open Science Shop - OpenFlexure Microscope Working Group (OSS-OFM WG). As mentioned before, the goal of the Open Science Shop is to enable the distributed manufacturing of open source scientific instruments, and we see our role as a collective to convene interested distributors and manufacturers of open science hardware products.
In line with this objective, we’ve created a working group focused on the distributed manufacturing of the OpenFlexure microscope, and a few weeks ago, we hosted our first working group meeting. We invite you to take a look at our most recent blog post recapping what happened at the meeting:
We hope that the working group model established at this meeting can serve as a model for future working groups focused on the distributed manufacturing of other open source instruments for science and research.
If you would like to get involved in the working group, you can fill out this the meeting interest form and we will send you an invite to the next meeting, which is happening on March 11th at 8:30 pm UTC.
Interested in bringing your open science hardware design to market? Connect with Open Science Shop!
In addition to the OpenFlexure Microscope, the Open Science Shop is seeking to pilot distributed manufacturing initiatives with other designs. If you are interested in collaborating with Open Science Shop to bring your open science hardware design to market, please let us know by completing this form, and we will follow-up with next steps.
Thanks so much!
