In recognition of National Disability Employment Awareness Month, we invite you to consider the following questions: Would a graduate student in a wheelchair be able to work in your lab? Would someone with an auditory or visual impairment be able to participate in your class? If you developed a disability, would you be able to continue in your current career path? Disabilities can be both visible and invisible. In higher education, and especially in STEM fields, there is a lack of accessibility for students with disabilities.
