Thanks for that. Very helpful.
Here is one paper that I did get into the article in Ingenia:
The €100 lab: A 3D-printable open-source platform for fluorescence microscopy, optogenetics, and accurate temperature control during behaviour of zebrafish, Drosophila, and Caenorhabditis elegans
http://journals.plos.org/plosbiology/article?id=10.1371/journal.pbio.2002702
They got through to me because it went out with a press release.
I like that one because it also throws in additive manufacturing (aka 3D printing).
It seems that Raspberry Pi is on to something.
The low cost of the thing puts it squarely in the PEST domain.

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.
