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....)

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.

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

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?
The AMS is temporarily opening its career services to all who need them, regardless of membership status, and offering dues waivers and meeting registration fee reductions for those impacted by job loss due to changes in the government.

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...
