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!

Getting into the giving spirit? Help us save our high school outreach program and empower 100s of disabled youth to go to college in #STEM. zotfunder.give.uci.edu Even $5 helps! "Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much." -Helen Keller #Disability #academicSky #helpSky #signalBoost

My advisor @docstacy.bsky.social and I are running a session at the APH National Coding Symposium on Dec 9th about digital math accessibility, LaTeX math equations in HTML, and computational thinking. It's virtual and free to register! www.aph.org/national-cod... #accessibility #DisabledInSTEM

Today I volunteered at California School for the Blind's Day of Code! It was awesome to support the staff and learn how to teach blind students computational thinking using accessible methods. We hope to co-host one next year in So Cal! Check them out: www.csb-cde.ca.gov/about/events...

We made it a quarter of the way towards our fundraising goal! Please like and share, and consider donating even $5 to help us continue our work with disabled students in STEM! Thank you for your support! 👉 zotfunder.give.uci.edu/project/47805 #DisabledInSTEM #Accessibility #InclusiveLearning

With the #chi2026 reviews coming out, I am posting my regular reminder to folks who do qualitative research. I have been curating a document with common critiques of qual research and how to respond. Check it out and add your own examples! docs.google.com/document/d/1...

The President’s Postdoctoral Fellowship Program, PPFP, has been a jewel in the crown for faculty development and recruitment at the University of California for years and the results have been an expanded faculty with almost 100% tenure rates — unprecedented success.

You never know what a small #HCI research project might grow into. Interviews with blind older adults about smartphones for a disability org webinar turned into a #DIS2023 poster 🖼️, Smartphone Stories, and later a theory paper 📄, Intersecting Liminality, at #ASSETS2024! 📄 bit.ly/inter-liminality

We lost funding for our outreach that supports disabled students in pursuing STEM in college. We're running a fundraiser to keep our work and community partnerships going. We are grateful for your support! 👉 zotfunder.give.uci.edu/project/47805 #CSedResearch #Accessibility #InclusiveLearning

Hi! I'm an Informatics PhD student at UC Irvine! My research is about accessibility, HCI, and CS Ed, and I'm interested in tech use during life transition. Currently, my work is focused on supporting blind students in accessing their STEM studies during the high school to college transition.

Learning to use a smartphone as a blind person isn’t just tech adoption. It’s a life transition. In our #ASSETS2024 paper, Intersecting Liminality, we explored how processes of aging, vision loss, and technology learning overlap. 📄 dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/... #InclusiveTech #Accessibility #HCI
