As today is the International Day of Persons with Disabilities, it's a good time to share our cross-journal collection on Disability Inclusion in Chemistry – now updated with this year’s articles! www.nature.com/collections/...

Disability inclusion in chemistry
A collection to highlight an all-too-often overlooked aspect of DEI in chemistry: disability.

#labdaptations Cap-It Tool feature No more closing PCR strip tubes with your thumbs and fingers; let the ergonomic Cap-It Tool do the work for you!

Check out the eppendorf tube opener #labdaptations in action! My thumb hypermobility and lack of hand strength make opening eppendorf tubes difficult (left video). With the use of the eppendorf tube opener, I can open tubes without pain or dislocations (right video).

You know you're having a good time at the Cartilage GRC when... Thank you to the organizers for an amazing conference! #CartilageGRC

#labdaptations alert🚨! This tube opener is great for individuals with limited hand strength/mobility or tremors. I use it to keep my joints from hyperextending/dislocating, which helps to decrease pain.
A sky blue tube rack contains a clear eppendorf tube. A teal gloved hand uses a dark blue lever to open the eppendorf tube with minimal force/strength.

Welcome to the home of #labdaptations ! My name is Kat and I am a Genetics PhD student, navigating science with a disability. Early in my grad school journey, I discovered that accessible lab equipment/tools were lacking, making it difficult for me to perform experiments.
