This is the second installment of a workshop series organized by GSA’s Accessibility Subcommittee. We have invited two/three experts that work on accessibility in STEM research across the United States to discuss best practices in making laboratory, field, and other workplaces more accessible. Through an interactive panel discussion, we will explore practical ways to make conducting STEM research more accessible for everyone, especially those with disabilities.
