Promotional graphic for a January 8 episode of the Disability Daily Podcast featuring Dr. Stephen Hawking. The poster includes the podcast logo, a starry night background, and an inset photo of Stephen Hawking in his wheelchair wearing a suit at a microphone, with a screen behind him projecting an image of the moon. Text identifies him as a theoretical physicist and cosmologist with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

Today on the #Disability Daily #Podcast we celebrate theoretical #physicist Dr. Stephen #Hawking, who had #AmyotrophicLateralSclerosis (ALS).

Massive congratulations!!!

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

This chemist had a tenure-track job offer in the US when they decided to leave the country Why Evan Spotte-Smith made that choice, and how they are finding the experience

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.

Disability-Inclusive Laboratories in the chemical sciences report front cover. Making chemistry accessible for everyone

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

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.

My linocut of Annie Jump Cannon shows her in a 3/4 profile view wearing a shirt with a lace collar and her hair up. She is printed in a gradient of violet at the bottom to green at the top, printed on white 11” x 14” paper. The background is printed in a gradient (left to right) of dark blue, light blue, yellow, pale yellow, pale orange, orange and red. The background block excludes her silhouette of shoulder and head with the exception of a smattering of small dots in a swath from upper left to lower right (which extends to white spots on the coloured background). Also along the bottom are a series of circles of decreasing size (left to right, blue through red) labelled O, B, A, F, G, K, M. There’s a axis line along the bottom with 6 tick marks. Vertically from top to bottom along the left side are 15-, 10-, 5-, 0, 5, 20, 15.

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?

I still left it open for a few more days 😉 we accept everyone at any degree level! Feel free to apply! 💜

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 🧪

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

Let me know if you’d like to discuss more! :)

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...
