My genuine response to this would be to continue to do research, answering the same questions I try to answer now, but in a much more radical, liberated, and liberatory way. ✨👩🏻‍🔬 #AcademicSky #KnowledgePowerToThePeople

Looking for Australian (UTC+10) individuals who would be willing to serve as mentors for the #DisabledInSTEM program as we have two individuals currently without mentors!

Very exciting day to wake up and see my name as a PUBLISHED author for the first time! As someone who is #DisabledinSTEM it was such an honor to be a part of this collaborative work on #selfdetermination!

Particularly looking for more mentees and mentors in the following time zones: UTC+0, UTC+1, UTC+3, UTC+10! #DisabledInSTEM

Well, it's finally up. Thanks @sarahbraner.bsky.social @cenmag.bsky.social for profiling me and my journey from @cmu.edu to @ucddublin.bsky.social. It's been a hell of a ride. I'm glad I'm here safe, at least. ⚗️ #newpi #disabledinstem #lgbtqinstem #transinstem #leavingus #howtoleave #ireland

Behind every barrier is a scientist whose ideas matter. Disabled chemists share their experiences, and how we can build labs where all talent thrives #InclusiveLabsRSC Read the @rsc.org Disability-Inclusive Laboratories report: www.rsc.org/policy-and-c... #ChemSky #DisabledInSTEM

It sucks being a chronically ill college student because I'll never be able to participate in club activities or go to parties because keeping up with the work takes all my energy. #disabled #chronicillness #hEDS #disabledinstem #disability #spoonie #chronicfatigue #student

Day 11 #ArtAdventCalendar: Happy birthday to trailblazing US #astronomer Annie Jump Cannon (1863 – 1941), here with her stellar classification system which sorted stars based on spectral types, revealing their temperature from hot blue to cool red stars: O,B,A, F, G, K & M. 🧪🐡👩🏼‍🔬🔭 #histsci Named the 🧵

Disabled scientists shouldn’t have to self-advocate just to do their jobs @rsc.org Accessible labs = innovation #ChemSky #DisabledInSTEM Adjustable fume hoods to assistive tech, solutions are here NOW we need action #InclusiveLabsRSC How can we drive meaningful change? www.rsc.org/news/disabil...

Filling mine out now because I forgot to listen to my reminder, sharing for all you fellow people who also forgot or didn’t know 🧪

Last day 👀 #DisabledInSTEM

On International Day of Persons with Disabilities we celebrate the innovation & perspectives disabled scientists bring #DisabledInSTEM #ChemSky Lab accessibility starts with leadership, explore actionable steps & real-world case studies to build #InclusiveLabsRSC www.rsc.org/policy-and-c...

Today, 3 December, is #InternationalDayofPersonswithDisabilities and the final article in our series on disability, along with the associated editorial wrapping up the series. Please take a look! www.cell.com/trends/ecolo... www.cell.com/trends/ecolo... #IDPD2025 #DisabledInSTEM

Order by midnight to receive by Christmas!

On #InternationalDayofPersonswithDisabilities, we thank Alyssa Paparella and Disabled Stem for creating community and raising accessibility awareness! As a cancer biology PhD candidate at Baylor, she's proving disabled scientists belong in research.

♿This #InternationalDayofPersonswithDisabilities, we celebrate breaking barriers in STEM education. Despite making up 27% of the population, people with disabilities represent only 3% of the STEM workforce. sciopen.com/journal/2352... #SciOpen #DisabilityInclusion @tsinghuauniversity.bsky.social 🧪

Don't forget to check the @disabledinstem.bsky.social initiative founded by Alyssa Paparella, a PhD student and advocate for disabled people in academia. It provides resources, support and mentorship. ❗Applications for joining the mentorship run until this Friday! 🗞️ www.nature.com/articles/s41...

It's that time of year again... time for #DisabledInSTEM 2026 Mentorship applications! I'm so excited to be running this program for the sixth year and seeing the growth over the years! Mentee form: forms.gle/um5DvYnBi3tn... Mentor form: forms.gle/BvaxnQm8uhUR... Applications due December 5th!

We keep going, we keep trying, we keep sharing. Every ounce matters. Every way you embed this practice daily—through sharing, clicking “weekly,” starting to help someone—is resistive. Six families’ survival:

The #DisabledInSTEM Mentorship Program has almost an equal number of applicants for mentees and mentors! Just sad to see interest extremely low this year. I’m not sure how I could reach people better so please share within your networks! 💜

Please don't hesitate to support lots of folks who are disabled in STEM! Alyssa is the most fantastic advocate, and this will help her continue to raise awareness for those finding their way in academia and the sciences. 💜

A mother and her 15 year old autistic son are reunited after nearly 50 days apart. Emmanuel Garcia went missing, and rather than check missing person’s reports, Houston PD called ICE. ICE sent him to the Office of Refugee Resettlement and his mom has been fighting to get him back ever since.

The Department of Education, led by the wife of a former head of the WWE, has declared nursing to no longer be a professional degree. It’s a war on so called women dominated professions It’s also devastating for the disability community We need nurses They’re an invaluable part of the care team

I think I'm finally caught up on all emails/private messages. If you have not heard back from me and waiting a response, please feel free to reach out again! It's just a lot to keep track of during this time of year! 💜
