\textbf{Science is not just about knowing but also about experiencing.~}

Today with the boon of technological advancement we have easy access to
information and knowledge which is merely a click away with the advent
of technological transformation. Science is largely about learning and
it majorly comes through the experience. So, it's more important how you
can make the experience of science more accessible to a lot of people
around the world.~

The actual experience of science is utilizing scientific tools to make
your own discoveries. Prof. Manu Prakash at Stanford
University~\textsuperscript{\hyperref[csl:1]{1}} is in a quest of how can we make
scientific tools that are so affordable, which are like buying a pencil
from a shop, So what it would mean if a scientific tool is as accessible
as pencil? What you would actually do, would you sketch with it or would
you write a poetry with it, what exactly is the end of that for science?
This really can be done across different fields by making scientific
devices and tools for all. So how do you make the microscopic world
easily visible, it's just around you but most people haven't actually
seen it.~ What a feeling of wonder it would be for all the people to
zoom into that invisible world which we are part of.~

Frugal Science which came out as a philosophy is now an innovative
research field. Frugal Science is a type of research focusing on the
development of scientific tools that are far cheaper and more accessible
to the average person~\textsuperscript{\hyperref[csl:2]{2}}. Accessibility is a big
challenge that science is facing. facing. The day is not far when we can
have devices for point of care applications in our pocket, the devices
which are versatile and robust. We can have diagnostics of deadly
infectious diseases in the field with simple and easy devices without
the sophisticated instruments and expertise. Improve the quality of
treatment and also decrease the cost so that broad community of people
can benefit.~\textsuperscript{\hyperref[csl:3]{3}}

Science doesn't always have to be costly. This way people can experience
the science and can make them more curious, have them discover this new
world and interpret it in their own way. With frugal science we can have
designers and inventors at every home, you just need nourish your
curiosity as we know, "\emph{Curiosity is the mother of inventions}".
With accessibility to frugal tools people can unleash and discover the
world and experience the science for themselves. Also, this can lead to
transformation in global health solutions and making healthcare
accessible to the most remote parts of the world and making it more
affordable. There are plenty of problems around us which are in urgent
need to be addressed but with simple solutions.~

We need many frugal scientist for together making this world a better
place to live.

\textbf{Be Crazy Be Curious!!}
