Conversations about #disability in #mathematics are often surrounded by stigma, silence, & shame. Check out this MAA blog on disrupting ableism in math and the launch of Sines of Disability. Kudos, Daniel Reinholz (they/them) @LisetteETorres3! mathvalues.org/masterblog/sin… #DisabilityTwitter #edequity

I never wanted to start a business. But I've always wanted to help other people. That's why I started studying developmental psychology. I wanted to understand people. How they thought and felt. What they needed to grow. I hoped it would help me understand myself too. 2 years

Mom is confused at times about why people react in a certain way about someone with a disability. But, she has come to the conclusion that some people are just afraid of disability. They have not encountered it, don't know how to respond, or think it means someone is "less than."

Whose responsibility is it to teach PhDs about careers outside of academia, including how to apply for non-academic careers? Some argue that individual PhDs need to teach themselves about "alterative" career paths & that PIs shouldn't have to do this "extra" work. Agree?

We had the most amazing (and historic first) ♿️🥄🧠#DisabledInComputing Disabled in Computing meetup! I was honored and touched that so many folks found the experience valuable. Stay tuned for future meetups at ACM SIGIR #SIGIR2024 and @ CMD-IT/Tapia Conference #Tapia2024!
