We feel this so much.
A note for our project: if any aspect of #STEMWithDisabilities resonates with you, we will share your story. We do not define disability or thresholds.

With all of the conversation in the disability community about fakers right now, I’m finding it difficult not to question my own disability status and if I’m “disabled enough” #InternalizedAbleism

As much as we try to stay behind-the-scenes, it's important you hear our voices too. @emmacollagen is a lead of #STEMwithDisabilities and is a PhD in molecular genetics, living with a genetic connective tissue disease.
Today, she watched a #WorkFromHome "debate" on @CNN 🧵

One of the responses we’ve heard as we’ve launched our website and social media is ‘I’m interested, but I’m not sure I’m disabled enough’. If anything about this project resonates with you, this project is FOR YOU. 🧵 1/3

We are excited to launch the STEM With Disabilities project! We grew up without diverse role models in #science, #engineering, #technology, and #math. We want to change that.
