.@ASAnews @ASADisability missed the deadline to request a remote presentation by 2 days and now I can’t present my own research that I have been working on for two years. This is incredibly ableist for an organization that claims to promote "access for all”. Do BETTER @ASAnews!

This is such an important point. In addition, the WGSS questions fail to account for individuals w/chronic illnesses such as endometriosis and fibromyalgia.
Is the federal government accurately measuring the size of the #disabled population in the United States? #NHIS #WGSS Find out in this new @MaxwellSU #SULerner #PopHealth research brief: surface.syr.edu/lerner/260/

As I rushed home from the @Vassar reception to change into my very dignified stained glass outfit (pictured), I received this amazing plaque in the mail. Yes, I do hate Mondays but I love Thursdays. Truly, thank you again for this tremendous honor, @ASADisability !!!

Bonus points if they take qualitative research!
Does anyone know of a journal that focuses on higher education that publishes brief reports? Trying to find a home for a short paper. #HigherEd #HigherEducation

The Lurie Institute is celebrating the 34th Anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act, signed into law on July 26, 1990—after the Capitol Crawl and many other protests by people with disabilities over decades finally got Congress to act. #ADA #ADA34 #DisabilityPrideMonth
