[Cabs-talk] Need Help In Chemistry

[Henry Wedler]

Dear Melissa,

My name is Henry 'Hoby' Wedler. 
I'm totally blind and recently graduated with my Ph.D. in organic chemistry
from UC Davis.

I'm more than happy to help and I absolutely will support you in any way I
can. 

Please email me off list. We'll set up a time to talk this week and go from
there.

All my best,
--Hoby

Hi Ken. Thank you so much. If you can connect me with Carry Supple I'd
really appreciate it. I want to take chemistry because it sounds fun and I
want to try. I actually did try to take astronomy at my college but the
homework online wasn't very accessible. Although that professor said that he
has had blind students in the past. This professor obviously has not if she
is discouraging me from taking the class.
