[Nfb-science] intro biology lab accessibility

[Aleeha Dudley]

Hi,
  I have found a way to measure small amounts of liquids for chem 
lab.  We use syringes that have puffy paint markings on them.  
Unfortunately, for some reason, the biology department doesn't 
really want to network with the chem departtment, which is sad 
because the chemistry department is doing an excellent job as far 
as inclusion goes.  I have tried to talk to my
bio lab TA about this, but I don't get too much of a response.
  Actually, the lab is called BMZ, which is a combination of 
botany, microbiology, and zoology.  They just clump it all 
together and refer to it as an intro bio course.

I worked with a lab partner or felolow classmate.  I memorized 
how to do the
tests and I asked for the results, brailled them up and reprinted 
them.
Now, I would have used a laptop and printed them.  I don't know 
how to get
around pooring and precise measurements though.  I had to 
convince my
instructors that I really was great with biology and its 
concepts.  I was
included because the other students really could learn from me!  
Let me
think on it some more.  Good luck!  Pink is negative and purple 
is positive.
Is it Micro?  I passed that with a %97.

 Hi all,
  I am wondering if anyone has any suggestions for this issue.  I 
am
 currently a college freshman and am taking an intro biology 
course.  I am
 a zoology major and want to go to veterinary school, so this 
issue is very
 important to me.  I feel as if I am not being included in the 
lab.  The
 instructors have said that I cannot do a gram stain and that I 
cannot work
 with bacteria.  In my opinion, I can do these things, but is 
there a way
 to help my instructors see this fact? Is there anything that 
others have
 done in lab courses such as this to help with the inclusion 
problem?
 Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
 Thanks,
 Aleeha Dudley
