[nabs-l] making geology class accessible

[Antonio Guimaraes]

Jerat Vermeij is a successful blind geologist.

Google him, and you'll find a few of his writings on how he got to where he is, including professorship at UC Davis.

He is a very busy guy, but may be accessible to your student and the professor, if it helps dispel a few myths, and break down the walls to science for the blind.

Feel free to write privately if you think you will need more info.

Jerat wrote a book titled Privileged Hands, where he talked about his work, ad impact in the field as a blind geologist.

Good luck,

Antonio
