<p class="MsoNormal"><a name="_Hlk99029336">My name is Ronald Heisser, and I am a Mechanical Engineering PhD student at Cornell University doing research on tactile display technologies. You can hear me talk about my research

NSF-Funded science translation program to investigate braille reader experiences, pain points, and current limitations around single-line refreshable braille displays.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk99029336">I am looking to chat with current braille readers, e-braille users, and braille specialists for 15-20 minutes about their experiences. If you have a blind or visually impaired colleague who’d be willing
to help with this effort, please have them reach out to me via this email or by phone (call or text): (210) 334-1115.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
