Royal Society of Chemistry calls for labs to become more inclusive for disabled chemists #Science #Chemistry #Other #InclusionInScience #ChemistryForAll #DisabilityInSTEM
We’re so inspired by the RCVS’s leadership on disability inclusion in veterinary education. Their Embracing People with Disabilities in the Veterinary Profession report sets a powerful example for other STEM sectors. We’re now exploring opportunities to work together on shared goals for greater inclusion and accessibility. #Inclusion #STEM #VeterinaryCareers #DisabledAndNeurodivergentVoices
Excited to have connected with the RCVS, whose leadership on disability inclusion in veterinary science is truly inspiring. We’re exploring opportunities to collaborate on shared inclusion goals

Helen sits at a podium with a microphone. Behind her, slides are displayed, with the title “Disabled Dis-Epistemologies: On Academic Ableism, (In)Access, and Knowing Anyways.
Honored to present the keynote at the Disability in STEM Symposium on campus today! Even when told, over and over, that disabled people cannot know, we know anyways. #DisabilityInSTEM #AcademicSky
A small revelation this morning made me laugh—and got me thinking deeply about how we learn maths.

[Image Description] Two children are sitting side by side in a classroom setting, smiling and laughing with joy. Both are wearing white polo shirts with circular blue stickers on them. The child on the right is holding a small model car, suggesting they are participating in a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) activity. The background shows other students and classroom furniture, indicating an engaging and inclusive learning environment. There is a light blue boarder. In the top right corner, the Lightyear Foundation logo is visible. At the bottom, a podcast episode promotion reads: "#337 Breaking Barriers to STEM with Lightyear Foundation – Engineering Matters Awards winners episode Engineering Matters" To the left of the episode promotion is a QR code for Spotify. To the right is an apple podcase logo.
New on the #EngineeringMatters podcast:
"Breaking Barriers to STEM with Lightyear Foundation"

Three students wearing lab coats stand together, smiling proudly and holding up their certificates of completion from the Lightyear Labs programme. The background shows a classroom or lab space, and the students represent diverse backgrounds, celebrating their achievements in an inclusive STEM environment.
Partnering with Dr Katherine Deane (@UEA), we’re working to make labs safer, more accessible, and inclusive for disabled researchers and students. Follow our journey to break down barriers in STEM.

#DisabilityInSTEM
Drafting a budget for accessibility in #VisionResearch seminars and events, I received honest feedback:
"How are ASL interpreters useful for the visually impaired? Is captioning for enlarging text?"
It hit me that, in STEM—a largely able-bodied field—I needed to explain more.

Welcome to BlueSky! This is my vibe, new followers! (There will also be #SciComm #DisabilityInSTEM #OneHeakth #Microbiology and nostalgia for the quaint (now obsolete) concept of Public Health. Ah, remember when we cared for the vulnerable? And had IPC? THOSE WERE THE DAYS, my friends!
🧪Hello, are you a #DisabilityinSTEM advocate? Are you interested in speaking with me sometime soon about the importance of visibility and senior scientists taking a stand against disability-based discrimination? Great, let's get in touch! amandaeheidt at gmail dot com
Number of times I’ve asked, in the last year, STEM coalitions to provide disability access and equity: 5
Number of time they’ve done anything different: 0
Too expensive, people want in-person, we can’t figure out how to do hybrid.
