Yale fellow creates temperature device
In first world countries, keeping temperature sensitive materials like vaccines at a fixed temperature is rarely a problem. But in countries like Tanzania and Zimbabwe, having a reliable and constant power source is a luxury that not everyone can afford. To provide a solution for this problem, Gordon McCambridge ’15, who received the Gordon Grand Fellowship — a post-baccalaureate award which supports up to a year of travel, research or work abroad — to fund his project, developed an affordable data collecting device known as the NODE which can monitor temperatures as well as track other quantitative data changes.
