Sitting at @ABRCMS 2023 awards ceremony absolutely furious. The captions on screen read [awards being announced] and ASL interpreters were not given a list of winners. “Minoritized” includes Deaf/HoH researchers. Your awards ceremony excludes them.

Excited to be presenting my research in the @NateHuebsch Lab through the @CEMB_STC REU this summer. I am presenting at poster K415 from 9:30-10:30 today! #BMES2023

[Ghiska Ramahdita @ghiska_tan]

I am super excited for the two #BMES2023 research poster talks by our talented REU undergraduates in the @NateHuebsch Lab!

Tomorrow, 9.30-10.30: #415 by @mayaevohr @CEMB_STC and #433 by Riya Bhakta @WashUBME

@drsitu @ABRCMS Thanks! To clarify, the conference center was fully accessible (there was a ramp just out of the photo’s frame).

The inaccessible part was the ramp-less stage they created for the keynote addresses and awards ceremony.

@mmesecar99 @ABRCMS @DisabledStem @DisabledAcadem Hi Monica! I'm so glad there were other mobility aid users at the conference (I noticed at least 4 or 5 of us!)
It's a shame we didn't get a chance to meet each other in person--we all need to make a point of changing that at future conferences.

[Maya Evohr @mayaevohr]

Honored to receive an @ABRCMS Presentation Award. However, I was very upset that there was no ramp to the #ABRCMS2022 stage.

Disabled researchers are not 3 steps below abled researchers. #DisabledResearcher @DisabledSTEM @DisabledAcadem

[Maya Evohr @mayaevohr]

It’s important for disabled researchers to be visible in these spaces— not only for future generations of researchers, but also for all of the PIs looking for new students to work in their labs. I am what a researcher looks like, too.

[Maya Evohr @mayaevohr]

This is especially unacceptable, given that the conference is for minoritized scientists.

I have spoken with conference leadership and am looking forward to @ABRCMS acknowledgement of the problem and plans for ensuring that future conferences are accessible for all. #STEMForAll

Just arrived back on campus after a successful trip to #ABRCMS2022. So thankful for the travel award that made it possible for me to attend and present my research!

#ABRCMS2022 Student Travel Awardees gathered for a group photo this morning! Send your congratulations to these brilliant, rising scientists!

[Maya Evohr @mayaevohr]

I’m having a wonderful time at #ABRCMS22!

[WPI Biomedical Engineering Department @WPI_BME]

Maya Evohr (@mayaevohr), a sophomore in @WPI_BME, presented a poster at #ABRCMS2022!

Maya did summer research at @CLE_State with Dr. Prabaha Sidker (MechE) on a bioprinting project to create scaffolds for better skeletal muscle regeneration.

She also presented at #BMES2022.

[Maya Evohr @mayaevohr]

Speaking on this panel at 1pm in room 007C! #BMES2022

[Maya Evohr @mayaevohr]

I’m so excited to be presenting poster #679 at 2:30 pm today! #BMES2022

[WPI Biomedical Engineering Department @WPI_BME]

Check out @WPI_BME posters in Exhibit Hall 3 in the morning and afternoon sessions!

Undergraduate student Maya Evohr presents on summer research performed at Cleveland State & PhD students Elzani Van Zyl, Kate Mistretta, and Ge Zhu present on their research projects. #BMES2022
