I don't necessarily have any specific suggestions -- just a couple more
general, Robert Jacquiss has given you some good ideas. There is a guy Cary
Supolo who is blind and done work in the chemistry area, can't remember the
name of his company.

We also host several other lists, that may help, all our lists are at
www.nfbnet.org/mailman/listinfo/

there is blindmath, nfb-science, and our student list nabs-l. NFBCS is for
computer science.

Finally, not one of ours, but the Athen list has lots of college and
university disabilities folks on it.
