Dear Michael,
It would be great to see a range of Raspberry Pi education/research uses
brought together in one article.
For biomedical and life sciences, PubMed now lists >50 papers mentioning
"Raspberry" and "Pi":
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=raspberry+pi
Others include:
Havariyoun et al (2016) Coding with pediatric patients at King's College
Hospital: experience from a London hospital. Journal of Medical Imaging
and Radiation Sciences, 47, 294-297.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jmir.2016.10.007
MDPI Electronics special issue, "Raspberry Pi Technology":
http://www.mdpi.com/journal/electronics/special_issues/raspberry_pi_technology
Posters on genome assembly:
http://irisa.lavenier.net/gatb/index.html
https://f1000research.com/posters/1093759
Our papers (via https://4273pi.org/publications) include some further
links to blogs etc.
