Hi

This Thursday 19 January, 6:30 to 8:30pm GMT, there'll be a special online
meeting on STEM accessibility, from author to reader. It is a double length
meeting because we have three special guest speakers Jason White, Jonathan
Godfrey and Patrick Smyth, all having expert knowledge and experience both
personal and professional. There'll be ample time for questions and
discussion afterwards.

Further details (and afterwards the video recording) are at
https://texhour.github.io/2023/01/19/stem-access-author-reader/.

In case you haven't already heard, last month the arXiv preprint service
published its framework for improved accessibility to the research papers
it hosts. This is very important for STEM access.

Earlier this month the American Mathematical Society (AMS) published an
article (in PDF)
Making Accessible Documents Using LaTeX by Eric Larson and Isabel Vogt
https://www.ams.org/journals/notices/202301/rnoti-p68.pdf

Finally TALMO (Teaching and Learning Mathematics Online) has an online talk
on Creating accessible online mathematics and statistics notes. This will
be on 1 March. The organisers are Jenny Hughes and Peter Rowlett. When
available more information will appear at http://talmo.uk/events.html

Do share this with others if you wish.

with best wishes
