Afghanistan: What Happened and What Can Be Done?

America's precipitous withdrawal from Afghanistan has raised a number of important questions that this panel hopes to address. Among these are: Is this event a sign of America’s loss of standing in the world? What are its geo-strategic implications? Was it a mistake for the US to seek to spread values such as democracy and women’s rights, rather than focus narrowly on strategic interests? The latter would have been to destroy Al Qaeda and nothing else. Is the perennial tension…

Improving STEM Researcher Outreach Efforts Working with Communities with Blindness and Vision Impairment (BVI) presented by Dr. Daniel Steinberg at ISLAND 2021

This talk overviews NSF Broader Impact efforts to improve accessibility in STEM for BVI communities. The NSF funded, Princeton Center for Complex Materials program efforts are broad and there is extensive experience creating, modifying and directing workshops to train researchers in different STEM fields and at different multiple venues. We are leveraging these experiences to venture into outreach efforts that are inclusive of the BVI community and create pilot outreach programs including…

Dr. Siegbert Schmid at ISLAND 2021: Developing laboratory procedures in chemistry for independent learning of students who are blind or low vision

In the School of Chemistry at the University of Sydney we continue to build an inclusive culture for all our staff and students. Laboratory work is a central part of the undergraduate curriculum; hence it is vital that it is accessible to all students.This project will develop and test experimental procedures that allow students who are blind or have low vision, to work in the laboratory independently and empower them to be more active participants in their own learning. The inclusive design…

Kevin Fjelsted and Ashley Neybert, ISLAND 2021: STEM-torship a new 501c3 for blind science mentorship

We believe Blind students raise their chances of success in STEM by working with successful blind mentors and teachers experienced with work with the blind. Unfortunately, there are not currently enough of either to go around so STEM-torship is here to fix that. STEM-torship’s goal is to pair a current blind STEM professional with a new teacher of a blind student, a blind individual with general blindness skills, and the blind student themselves. This talk will discuss the planned methods…

Teaching Microscopic Concepts in Chemistry to Neurodiverse Students presented by Dr. Christin Monroe at ISLAND 2021

Landmark College (LC) is one of just two colleges in the U.S. that focuses exclusively on serving students who learn differently, including students with learning disabilities such as dyslexia, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and/or autism, collectively referred to as neurodiverse students. At LC, neurodiversity is used as a term of empowerment rather than as a diagnosis or disorder. Historically, neurodiverse students are severely underrepresented in STEM fields, representing…

Students with disabilities in undergraduate research: Challenges and opportunities presented by Logan Gin at ISLAND 2021

Individuals with disabilities are underrepresented in postsecondary science education. Given this, it is critical that we learn more about how individuals with disabilities navigate a variety of science learning environments and high-impact practices. One highly touted high-impact practice is undergraduate research, and national calls have advised that all science undergraduate students should engage in undergraduate research because it has been shown to lead to a range of benefits for those…

Making Molecular Imagery More Accessible to Students with Blindness presented by Dr. Bryan Shaw at ISLAND 2021

This presentation will discuss our recent investigations into fabricating 3D models of molecular graphics that are millimeter in scale. We refer to these models as micro models. The size of micro models range from the size of a rice grain to a peanut. We have converted X-ray crystal structures of various proteins into atomically accurate models on this size scale. Some of these models are made via 3D printing, using biocompatible resin. Others are made from edible gummy material using silcone…
