Want to learn more about all of the amazing work that has been part of #DisabledInSTEM?
Check out this recent @NatureEcoEvo interview with Alyssa Paparella to see the insights of starting this platform while being a graduate student!
#DisabledInSTEM
Despite declining to lodge an official complaint, here I am, seven years later, still being ghosted (and gaslighted).

I guess I hadn't posted this yet and didn't even know it had come out-- I was interviewed for (and co-wrote w/Daniel Rabosky) a Trends in Ecology & Evolution "TrendsTalk" article on "Disability in ecology and evolution" -- https://www.cell.com/trends/ecology-evolution/abstract/S0169-5347(24)00283-0 #DisabledInSTEM #academicchatter #academia
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. Named the Harvard Classification after the university, her tremendous contribution was less visible.

Moneybags Elsevier has offered me a gift card to do accessibility testing -- not cash that I could use for practical things or a professional hourly rate, but a lousy gift card. My expertise is worth more and I hope other #DisabledInSTEM folks will consider not accepting this disrespectful offer.
Any #DisabledInSTEM orders purchased by December 3rd should arrive in time for the holidays- make sure to get your orders in soon! #SmallBusiness #BlackFriday

Hi friends! I haven’t had many
#DisabledInSTEM
merch sales this whole year and would appreciate any support!
I have A LOT of medical bills coming up. Your support helps me to pay my bills and focus on my advocacy, such as running the Mentorship Program!
Join this year's #DisabledInSTEM #SecretSanta!
With everything happening in the world, it's a great to connect the community and make the Holiday Season a bit brighter for everyone!

Previously, I've run a #SecretSanta Exchange for the #DisabledInSTEM and #Disability communities. With everything going on this year, is this something people would be interested in still?
I match individuals to send a gift via Amazon wishlist (so no addresses are given out) and it's usually around $20. This helps for people who are alone during the Holiday Season!
It’s more important than ever to support each other and build community.
Able-bodied mentors are invited to join and help support disabled mentees during these trying times ahead #DisabledInSTEM

It is
#NationalMentoringDay
and the
#DisabledInSTEM
Mentorship Program would not be possible without the generous mentors who volunteer throughout the year long program!
Thank you to all mentors for their dedication and commitment! 💜
Today is
#NationalMentoringDay
and it’s a great opportunity to sign up for the
#DisabledInSTEM
2025 Mentorship Program!
Lots of new folks here on BlueSky, so perhaps time for a (re)introduction! I'm Evan (they/them), and I'm a chemical researcher. Currently a postdoc at CMU, soon to be an assistant prof. in chemical engineering. #ChemSky #CompChem #AcademicSky #LGBTQSTEM #DisabledInSTEM 🧪 1/n
It's time to start organizing the 2025 #DisabledInSTEM Mentorship Program! Feel free to reach out with any questions!

For the #Spacetober day 11 prompt wavelength: my #linocut of trailblazing US #astronomer Annie Jump Cannon (1863 – 1941) 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. Named the Harvard Classification after the university, her tremendous contribution was less visible. 🧵1/n

I was interviewed by "STEM with Disabilities" about my invisible disability #epilepsy for a profile here: https://www.stemwithdisabilities.com/stories/john-r-hutchinson #AcademicChatter #DisabledInSTEM It means a lot to me to be able to share some thoughts and experiences.
On September 3rd, there's a virtual discussion of Margaret Price's
new book "Crip Spacetime" organized by the Society for Disability Studies. Panelists include Aparna Nair, Benjamin Reiss, and Helen Rottier.

A written recap of the webinar I did with Digits & Threads @DigitsThreadsCA in June is now up! It’s all about how #embroidery helps me understand my chronic illness. #SciArt #NEISvoid #DisabledInSTEM

I brought a couple of complaints to my HR recently & damn, I'm happy. They confirmed what I thought (yes, this looks an awful lot like disability discrimination) & are investigating. Fingers crossed folks. HR is not always the friend of disabled folks in #HigherEd so I had to share the news.
Also, to all of my disabled friends in academia, document the heck out of everything.
