I guess I'll post it now and hopefully at least some of the academics on the other side of the world will see it...
Inspired by Biotweeps, do any of the biology folks here want to work on putting together an accessible online conference using Fediverse tools?
I, like many disabled scientists, have been left out of so many workshops, symposia, conferences, etc. due to inaccessibility. Especially since the pandemic began.
I think we could build some community on Mastodon. @academicchatter
@academicchatter I'm thinking anti-ableist, anti-racist, anti-sexist, etc.
Actual inclusive as possible for us to achieve online conference-planning. Pushing the date far enough out that we can do this without stressing the hell out and with enough time to fundraise for ASL interpreters, captioning, etc.
