According to this story from ABC News, “Manu Prakash, a professor at Stanford University, and his students have developed a microscope out of a flat sheet of paper, a watch battery, LED, and optical units that when folded together, much like origami, creates a functional instrument with the resolution of 800 nanometers – basically magnifying an object up to 2,000 times.” This amazing idea and the ones referenced above prove that it doesn’t take a fortune to produce things that will help advance the cause of medicine and aid millions of people for decades to come.
Of course, the Allen School is also proof of that axiom. The certified medical assistant course is eminently affordable and produces hundreds of certified nursing assistants every year.
