       Dear All
       I run a monthly meetup at Cambridge Makespace called Science
       Makers, looking at low cost hardware for research, education and
       citizen science. Our May event (running 12:00-17:00 on Sat 5
       May, with talks 12:15-13:30) is on 3D printing for science.
       We have a different theme each month and attract around 15-30
       people from many different backgrounds for the talks, followed
       by lunch and a hands-on session in the afternoon. I anticipate
       this topic will be popular and we currently have around 40
       people signed up for this Saturday's 'Multispectral imaging with
       Raspberry Pi' workshop.
       I'd like to ask if any of you would be interested in:
       a) Providing a short talk on how you use 3D printing in your
       research
       b) Suggesting and/or organising a practical activity in the
       afternoon. Previously we've assembled low-cost microfluidic
       devices, spectrometers, microscopes and electromyographs. (due
       to the time taken to 3D print anything, this is likely to be
       design or assembly!)
       Talks are geared towards a mixed audience of makers and
       researchers and are usually given by people who have built
       scientific equipment or use different experimental techniques in
       their work that have scope for customization and DIY approaches.
       It's a great community for bouncing new ideas around and making
       interdisciplinary connections.
       Thank you very much for your time in considering this and I look
       forward to hearing from you
       Jenny
