So I'm at a physics conference this week in Lecce, Italy. Some of you wonder how that works given that I'm Deaf and probably don't know Italian Sign Language. Well... 1/N #deaf #interpreters #asl #access #physics

🚨 Practical URGENT tip for NSF grantees:
Out of an abundance of caution, I would right now go into Research.gov and…
1. Download your NSF award letters.
2. Print PDF your annual reports.
3. Screenshot the status table for annual reports.

Cross-section measurements for the production of a $W$-boson in association with high-transverse-momentum jets in $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}$= 13 TeV with the ATLAS detector
A set of measurements for the production of a $W$-boson in association with high-transverse-momentum jets is presented using 140 fb$^{-1}$ of proton-proton collision data at a centre-of-mass energy of...

it's hard to say if this is a session break or not (I assume so) but the autocraptions don't indicate anything... If there were actual Deaf attendees there in person, they would not be able to rely on this for any sort of announcements that are important for logistics or safety.

In case anyone is wondering, @ENERGY sponsored @CERN FCC week in the US is providing this as "captions"

One of the best experiences/moments for me in the past few days was to meet @MarieCoppola68 in persona, and to find out that we have some overlapping interests in improving policy for the intersection of science funding and disability.
