<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Pushing the frontiers of science means pushing the frontiers of knowledge, yes, but also the frontiers of participation. The benefits of science belong to everyone.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Ohio State’s Anna Voelker is leading the charge. In 2018, she completed her custom degree: a B.S. in Science Communication and Accessibility, with a minor in Astronomy and Astrophysics. Also in 2018, she
was named one of two Ohio State President’s Prize winners. See <a href="https://www.osu.edu/features/2018/creating-a-universal-experience.html">

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Anna is leading the organization of SciAccess, “a conference dedicated to promoting innovative approaches to equitable science access. It will explore the ways in which science and STEM as a whole can be
made more inclusive, particularly for individuals with disabilities.” SciAccess (<a href="https://www.sciaccess.org">https://www.sciaccess.org</a>) will be held at the Ohio Union June 28 and 29. See the link and the attached picture.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">CCAPP strongly supports this.
<b>To encourage participation at SciAccess, we are sponsoring a limited number of registrations.</b> You can register through a special form that does not require payment. See
<a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1LYK7FeOmWQ8NYG--PrhEQQBEu75UWs8W_QfxJ43_wRc/viewform?edit_requested=true">
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1LYK7FeOmWQ8NYG--PrhEQQBEu75UWs8W_QfxJ43_wRc/viewform?edit_requested=true</a>. Please only register if you are confident that you will attend, as we will be charged $100 for each registration. And this offer is only for people
in Physics, Astronomy, and CCAPP.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:11.0pt">The deadline to register for the conference is Friday 17 May. But to get one of the free registrations, I encourage you to act as soon as possible (it’s easy), as we will likely have to cut off free registration
well before then.</span></b><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Anna is looking for volunteers to help with the conference. If you are interested, please note it on your form. There are also opportunities to host a booth to share information with participants. Or write
