this news item or article about manu praksh shouldn't be publicised along with one about the ig-nobel prizes, which are spoofs. 

on the other hand, manu prakash's work and inventions are enormously creative, and useful to the developing world, indeed to the whole world. 

there's a ted talk by prakash in which he assembles a functioning paper microscope in minutes.
