[Blindmath] Access2Science

[John Gardner]

Hello Birker.  Thanks for the kind words.  And ideas and suggestions, all
are welcome.

For now, submit articles and link suggestions to me (or any of the other
editors) by e-mail.  As the site develops, we can add sophistication.

John

That is a fantastic initiative, one that I believe has been sorely missing.
I will certainly contribute and I encourage others to do the same.
This is not something to, perhaps, do right away, but I have always
wanted someone who is doing a higher education or fulltime STEM job to
have a blog on a site like this and detailing the issues they run into
and what software they have used to sole those issues, or if they do
not find solutions, something that gives us a glimpse into the lives
of blind, partially sighted or dyslexic STEM professionals.
Thanks for a fantastic initiative.
Do we submit articles by emailing them to you directly or is there an
upload feature of contact info on the website itself?
Thanks
