[NABS-L] Invitation to a Zoom Conference on How the Blind Can Do STEM

[Lindsay Adair]

Hello NABS!



This is Lindsay from your Advocacy Committee, and I hope you are doing
extremely well as you embark on a new year!

Have you ever wanted to learn how you can navigate in a STEM field as a
blind person? If so, the National Association of Blind Students has the
perfect opportunity for you.

On Sunday, January 26, from 8:00 to 9:10 p.m. EST, the National Association
of Blind Students along with the Science and Engineering division of the
National Federation of the Blind will be hosting a joint zoom conference on
how blind students and professionals can succeed in STEM-related courses
and careers.

Blind professionals will present topics that include how to organize data
in an accessible manner which will be addressed by Dr. Kevin Currin (
kwcurrin at email.unc.edu), and how to make experimental chemistry accessible
for blind users using adaptive technology presented by Dr. Ned Lindholm (
eflindholm at gmail.com).

The conference is meant to target audiences from Middle School, High
School, college, Graduate School, and professional backgrounds.
