It is essential to accommodate people of all abilities. Here's an example!
whoi.edu
It’s #NationalDisabilityEmploymentAwareness Month! One shining example of an inclusive workplace is Elizabeth Sibert’s Paleo-FISHES Lab, the first ADA-accessible lab at #WHOI.

🤔What does your workplace do to accommodate people of all abilities? Share your experiences in the comments!
Accessible Sink is shown with chair in the knee space for scale. The sink has two white DI water faucets, as well as a tap water faucet and an eye wash. To one side of the sink is a drying station with numerous sieves and falcon tubes. To the other side of the sink are some empty beakers and DI water wash bottles. There is a beaker drying rack on the wall behind the sink, and a 8" washing sieve in the sink for scale  Photo shows the accessible fume hood in the Paleo-FISHES Lab space. It is located near a large window, and has a blue lab chair sitting in front of it at the workstation spot. The fume hood sash is open, and it is clear that the chair easily fits into the empty knee-space in the middle of the fume hood counter.

What can a whale’s bones tell us?

After a ship strike killed a North Atlantic right whale, her broken jaw and skull revealed the harm of vessel collisions. Former MIT-WHOI Joint Program student Regina Campbell-Malone used this tragedy to model collisions, which now helps guide ship speed limits.
