Hello all,
This is Fred writing again from beautiful Arcata, California: home of
Humboldt State University. I am forwarding a posting from a great discussion
list run by the Society for Amateur Scientists. (Information follows.)
====================
From: "Ralph J. Coppola" <aa679@ccn.cs.dal.ca>
To: talk@sas.org
Subject: (fwd) Input needed on disabilities and science
WHY IS IT SO DIFFICULT FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES
TO ENTER AND SUCCEED IN CAREERS IN
SCIENCE, ENGINEERING, & MATHEMATICS?
Project PURSUIT needs your insights! We are seeking input from
professionals in the fields of science, engineering, and mathematics,
educators, students, parents, rehabilitation professionals, and anyone
else who would like to contribute. PURSUIT, an National Science
Foundation-funded project, is researching the underrepresentation of
people with disabilities in the careers of science, engineering, and
mathematics. People with disabilities encounter numerous barriers which
may hinder them in the classroom, in laboratories, and in the workplace.
Whether or not you have experience with people with disabilities, we
would greatly value your ideas on this subject.
To complete the survey we've created on the topic, please go to the
following WWW URL:
