[NFB-Science] Announcing the Eleventh ISLAND Conference

[Skye]

While this sounds like an incredible concept, cannot help but notice 
that islandconference.org is not a professional website. There is no 
identification or contact information about the organization associated 
to the conference.  If princeton university is the organizer, they have 
the knowledge and resources to create a valid website.  But there is no 
privacy policy, copyright, or other legal stuff.  This site feels like 
it was thrown together by someone new to building websites or promoting 
conferences.

Can a professional in the field please confirm the organization and 
conference?

Thanks!

Announcement:

  

The 11th annual Inclusion in Science, learning a New Direction, Conference
on Disability (ISLAND) is just around the corner. This year's conference
will be held virtually on Saturday, September 12, 2020 and is being hosted
at Princeton University. Registration is free and can be completed by going

programming additions will be forth coming.

The ISLAND conference serves as a forum for people interested in the full
inclusion of persons with disabilities into the Science, Technology,
Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) professions. Presentations are hosted by
science teachers, access technology developers, rehabilitation
professionals, and science faculty who have experience providing
accommodations for a student with a disability or are actively conducting
research that promotes inclusion of persons with disabilities. We hope that
you will consider registering and participating in the 11th annual ISLAND
conference. For more information, please feel free to e-mail the conference

Science, and the Princeton University Center for Complex Materials (PCCM)
and Supported by Princeton University's Office of Information Technology.
