This chemist had a tenure-track job offer in the US when they decided to leave the country Why Evan Spotte-Smith made that choice, and how they are finding the experience

Well, it's finally up. Thanks @sarahbraner.bsky.social @cenmag.bsky.social for profiling me and my journey from @cmu.edu to @ucddublin.bsky.social. It's been a hell of a ride. I'm glad I'm here safe, at least.

It sucks being a chronically ill college student because I'll never be able to participate in club activities or go to parties because keeping up with the work takes all my energy.

Front cover of the report Disability-inclusive Laboratories in the Chemical Sciences. Making chemistry accessible for everyone.

Disabled scientists shouldn’t have to self-advocate just to do their jobs @rsc.org

Accessible labs = innovation #ChemSky #DisabledInSTEM

Adjustable fume hoods to assistive tech, solutions are here NOW we need action #InclusiveLabsRSC

How can we drive meaningful change?
