AAAS SEEKS INFORMATION FOR RESOURCE DIRECTORY

The American Association for the Advancement of Science Project on Science, 
Technology, and Disability invites scientists and engineers with 
disabilities to be included in the third edition of the Resource Directory 
of Scientists and Engineers with Disabilities. The deadline for inclusion is 
May 31, 1994. Potential candidates for the directory must hold, or be 
working toward, a degree in a scientific, engineering, or medical 
discipline, or currently be employed in a scientific field.

Funded by the National Science Foundation, the project's Resource Directory 
of Scientists and Engineers with Disabilities has assisted hundreds of 
individuals enter and advance in scientific disciplines. The directory helps 
to connect persons with disabilities and their families with professors, 
teachers, and counselors who can serve as role models and mentors.

The Resource Directory lists scientist, mathematicians, and engineers from 
all parts of the country with their disciplines, degrees, and disabilities. 
Individuals include professionals who were born with a disability, and those 
who acquired their disability mid-career. Persons listed in the directory 
are also asked to consult for academia, government agencies, and industry as 
well as serve on peer review panels and symposia.

Established in 1975, the AAAS Project on Science, Technology, and Disability 
has sought and shared expert advice from scientists and engineers with 
disabilities. Since the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act 
(ADA), the AAAS Resource Directory has become a valuable source of 
expertise.
