Blind and sighted researchers who work in all areas of blindness-related research, except for the medical, as well as individuals with an interest in blindness-related research, are invited to join this list. Graduate students who are pursuing an advanced degree in a blindness-related field are strongly encouraged to join as well. The purpose of the list is to facilitate communication and collaboration among researchers, and to provide graduate students an opportunity to connect with established researchers. The moderator of the Blind Research list is Dr. Edward Bell, chair of the National Federation of the Blind Research Advisory Council. <o:p class=""></o:p></div><div class="" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"> <o:p class=""></o:p></div><div class="" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">To subscribe to the Blind Research list, you can either go to <o:p class=""></o:p></div><div class="" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.nfbnet.org/mailman/listinfo/blindresearch_nfbnet.org" class="" style="color: purple;">http://www.nfbnet.org/mailman/listinfo/blindresearch_nfbnet.org</a><o:p class=""></o:p></div><div class="" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">or send an email message to <a href="mailto:blindresearch-request@nfbnet.org" class="" style="color: purple;">blindresearch-request@nfbnet.org</a> and type subscribe in the subject line.</div></div></blockquote><div class="">
