Accessibility in Lab | Conversations Around Accessibility with Sara Siwiecki
Manage episode 352622239 series 3279354
Welcome to the third part of our series on Accessibility in the Lab. Each episode explores the importance of accessibility in the lab, academia, the workforce and other applications.
In the previous accessibility episodes, we asked our guests for their input on how to talk to someone about accessibility – specifically in education and the workplace. For this episode, we're expanding our look into the conversations that can make all the difference for someone with accessibility needs. Our guest for this episode is Sara Siwiecki, a Biophysics Ph.D. candidate at Yale university, who actively volunteers for two Yale organizations serving graduate students: the Yale Disability Peer Mentorship Program and the Yale Graduate Student Disability Alliance.
Key Learning Points:
- Advice on how and where to begin with having these conversations
- How scientific events, conferences and other activities can be more accommodating
- Tips for how to speak with someone who is not receptive to accessibility needs
