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
