I am at ASSETS 2025 in Denver presenting an experience report on navigating temporary disability with the use of multimodal GAI in Session 8B (dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1...). Also, we have a paper on the use of embroidery to create tactile graphics in the fabrication track (dl.acm.org/doi/full/10....)

An ad from the European Commission that says “Choose Europe”, bring your research where it’s valued and funded, on my LinkedIn feed.

The state of #science and #research in the US: I have started to get “Choose Europe” ads on LinkedIn as a 2nd year PhD student.

New Attempt to Rollback Accessibility Requirements - Comments Needed For over forty years the United States has had regulations that say new buildings must be accessible to people with disabilities if the building is built by an organization that receives federal funds...

I agree. I’m not sure how the algorithm here works.

Going off script Moving through shame to find pride in disabled and queer identity

A very interesting read about the intersections of disabled and queer identities! www.disabilitydebrief.org/debrief/goin...

I don’t usually open up about disability on a personal level, but this article gets a little bit into it. Creating accessible environments for learning/research for all (diagnosed or not yet) can help people reach their goals and dreams.

DOGE abruptly cut a program for teens with disabilities. This student is 'devastated' The program, Charting My Path for Future Success, aimed to help teens with disabilities transition from high school to the real world. It abruptly ended when DOGE terminated its federal contract.

@dangaristo.bsky.social recently shared that the NSF graduate research fellowship program got wacked by 50% @standupforscience.bsky.social @phlscienceaction.bsky.social I took a deeper dive here - call your senator, 202-224-3121. Revive and expand the NSFGRFP

Is this on PCS already?

I agree. But this also speaks volumes as to how embedded ableism is in society and even ourselves. It shouldn’t have to feel this bad to need others’ help or patience sometimes.

Announcing the “Unheard” Initiative -- together with @fractalecho.bsky.social and with the sponsorship of AccessSIGCHI, @acm-sigchi.bsky.social and @sigaccess.bsky.social we're launching a new talk series for folks with disability/travel restrictions. Please volunteer! tinyurl.com/unheard-init...

Federal Judge Allows Students to Host Draggieland at Texas A&M University A Federal Judge has ruled in favor a student group at Texas A&M University, allowing the Queer Empower Council to Host "Draggieland" on Thursday. The judge issued a preliminary injunction allowing the show to go on despite a ban on drag shows by the Texas A&M Board of Regents.

A win for student expression on college campuses! Let’s keep it going. www.law.com/texaslawyer/...

You’re recovering, the fact you are still writing and making figures is amazing. I have had so many days when all I want to do is sulk and do nothing. It takes a lot to not give in and to keep going even if in little ways.

It’s so frustrating when health issues last far past what you thought their “expiration date” would be. The emotional roller coaster of hope and setbacks can be a lot. Just know you’re not alone. Have any accommodations or adapted workflows helped?

Show Up For Our Libraries! By eliminating the only federal agency dedicated to funding library services, the Trump administration's Executive Order is cutting off at the knees the most beloved and trusted of American institutions and the staff and services they offer. ALA American Library Association. #ForOurLibraries

🚨NEW🚨: Donald Trump is attempting to strip away federal support for libraries. We will NOT let that happen.

Last night the President signed an order to gut the Institute of Museum & Library Services. But together, we know we can show up & defeat it.

Full EO: www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

Following inquiries, we are extending the deadline to the 20th. We look forward to your submission!

Oh, that's concerning.

People, including my husband, survive cancer because of NIH research!

This is no time to run academia as if it were immune to sociology-political and environmental crisis. It is time to learn from each other how to put academia - and intellectual life more generally - at the service of society. My deepest thanks to all who continue to provide models and inspiration

As of today, more NIH study sections have been cancelled in 2025 then held.

What does this mean for groundbreaking research that urgently needs funding? Critical proposals in aging, cancer, health outcomes, and bacterial virulence are now left without review.

I wish more people these days with the tech mindset would remember that innovation without integrity leads to failure.

I want to see every scientific society going into emergency mode. This is a good example of how an organization can flex its specific power in a time of great need. What else is possible?

No, University Endowments Can’t Replace Federal Science Funding How Endowments Actually Work

There are so many reasons university endowments can't make up for the dramatic cuts the Trump administration has planned for science.

Here are a few. Thanks to @donmoyn.bsky.social for the platform.

Science is not like your average tech startup or software co. There is no move fast and break things in science: progress takes years of meticulous work to document and validate so we can trust its accuracy. Disrupting this just means more years of waiting for patients. www.9news.com/article/news...
