SUMMARY:Science on Tap
DESCRIPTION:Science On Tap is a monthly series of informal talks led by scientists that explore current research topics and the importance of science in our daily life. Each talk takes place in a relaxed pub atmosphere where communication flows freely between scientists and the public. Co-presented by Skidmore’s Environmental Studies and Sciences Department and Sustainable Saratoga\, these monthly opportunities for discussion reflect the unique intellectual culture of the greater Capital Region and promote scientific literacy. \nThe next Science on Tap is Wednesday\, February 25\, 2026 @ 7:00 pm. \nAdmission is free and all ages are welcome. Come early to get a bite to eat. The talk will start promptly at 7:00pm. \nSpeaker: Kim Frederick \nTitle: Turning All Citizens into Scientists using Paper and Cell Phones \nTalk Description: For too long\, scientific information has only been accessible to scientists who have access to lab facilities.  More recently\, the World Health Organization established the REASSURED standard which calls on the science community to develop testing technology that is Real-time\, Easy\, Affordable\, Sensitive\, Specific\, User-friendly\, Rapid and robust\, Equipment-free and Deliverable.  Our lab at Skidmore College develops paper-based testing devices where the science measurement can be done with a cell phone camera.  In recent years we have developed microfluidic paper analytical devices (µPADs) for measuring contamination of drinking water by hydrofracking wells\, ensuring proper dosage for antibiotic tablets and developing a urine-based diagnostic for malaria.  In this discussion we will talk about how this technology works\, what kinds of problems we have tackled and what problems of local interest might be important for us to look at.  Come and join the conversation! \nBio: Coming soon
