Hi, Guys! I wanted to share an email I just received. Here goes:

Hi JP,

My name is Cameron Cassidy. I’m a legally blind PhD student at the
University of California, Irvine, studying technologies that support shared
picture book reading between adults and children when one is blind and the
other is sighted.

Over the next few weeks, as part of a National Science Foundation I-Corps
program, we are aiming to speak with 100 parents of young children within
the blind and low vision community. We want to chat with them for 15
minutes about how they find, evaluate, and adopt technologies (e.g.,
print-braille books, audiobooks) to meet their co-reading needs. We're now
70% of the way to our goal... and running out of time!

Could you help us spread the word amongst the Greeley Chapter? You’re
welcome to direct people to book through Google Calendar to schedule
(preferred, since 100 interviews is a lot of scheduling) or email me. Of
course, if our work is relevant to you, feel welcome to chat with us as
well!

Our research lab usually pays by the hour for the expertise of those who
are blind. However, as required by the NSF I-Corps program, we are not
permitted to do so for these 15-minute chats.

Thank you,
Cameron Cassidy
Ph.D. Student, Informatics
University of California, Irvine
