Saad Chinoy
Dates: Jun 1 – Jun 6
Project: Mud-Microbial fuel cell, and midichlorians.

Bio:
Saad is a professional geek with a passion for coffee, technology, and the OpenSource way of doing things. For a living he conceptualizes tech solutions for Tusitala, the digital publishing arm of Potato Productions. Tusitala means “story-teller”. Tusitala is on the look out for Asian stories that adopt the interactivity of the digital medium to go beyond the page, without trying to replace it. “trans-media storytelling” as the marketese would have it. Saad also volunteers with several non-profits and strongly believes that social enterprises should be the key users of and contributors to OpenSource tech. Enough of that boring day-job stuff.
Saad is a self-confessed maker of sometimes brilliant but mostly useless things and coffee geek. There, that’s better.
Ask me about the network of innovators that I’m now (extremely grateful to be) a part of: The Global Innovation Gathering

Postdoctoral researcher at North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences in Raleigh, NC, USA

My project: I will investigate the ant fauna on the island and photograph the most common ant species/genera. I’ll then create an intuitive visual identification key. As part of my research at the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences I work with K-12 teachers to bring citizen science projects (such as my project “Ant Picnic”) into the science classroom. A lot of my work deals with making ants and ant science more accessible to a broad audience. More about this work at discoverants.com
