Many hands make light work! At the @acs.org Chemists With Disabilities (CWD) Braille Periodic Table activity at the #ACSFall2025 Member Lounge, over 100 people have helped glue braille dots for element symbols so far. One is almost done! Aiming to finish both Tuesday, so come join us to help out!

ACS Fall 2025 attendees participate in the Braille Periodic Table project, hosted by the Chemists With Disabilities committee (CWD). People are gluing beads to two wooden boards in which the periodic table has been cut into the wood, and people glue dots into holes in order to make it accessible for braille readers.
