 would not be possible. For that we thank you. <br>
We are excited about the 14th annual ISLAND conference to be held October 13-14, 2023 in Princeton. Do check the ISLAND conference website in the Spring of 2023 for more details as they become available.

STEM Storytelling through Podcasts for Sighted, Blind, and Visually Impaired Students (or SSP for short) is an NSF-funded project involving the use and creation of podcasts in the classroom. We are attempting to broaden participation for blind and visually
 impaired and sighted upper-elementary students through engaging with podcast technology to tell stories about scientists, including those who are Blind and Visually Impaired. We would like to invite you to consider being a part of our teacher advisory board.

For this project, we want to make sure to include a range of teachers’ voices, expertise, and experience. We will use our teacher advisors’ feedback in designing and modifying our podcasts and resources developed as part of this project. We are looking to recruit
 25 teachers from classrooms with sighted students and those with blind and visually impaired students, who teach STEM courses in grades 3-5, and are working in a variety of schools and conditions across the country.

Our teacher advisors will help review our material throughout the year, providing feedback via short questionnaires and focus group discussions with other teachers. They will also help by testing some of our resources in their classrooms with their kids.
<span style="font-weight:bold">We expect that involvement with the advisory board will take roughly 10 hours over this academic year.

Struggling with inaccessible PDFs in science and math? Independence Science is here to help! We know that professionally done accessible PDFs are hard to come by so we now offer PDF Remediation services for individuals, schools, teachers, and more! Imagine
 not having to worry about data loss, and wrestle with inaccessible research articles or class assignments, handbooks, calendars, or posters. Instead you will have beautifully tagged PDFs with headings, image descriptions, and proper reading order that will
 work with screen readers without needing OCR processing commands. Simply send us your PDF for a confidential and risk-free estimate. Only pay for the time you use and never pay any more than the estimate in your quote even if extra time is required. Have your
 science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) images described by science content experts! It’s a win-win! For a quote or for more information, contact us today at

Meet the Element: Hydrogen </h4>

Hi, my name is Hydrogen and I hang out at atomic number 1. My chemical symbol is H. I am a gas and the lightest of all elements. There is lots of me around but I don’t occur in a pure state naturally. Since I am a gas, the only way to keep me is in a container.
 Combined with Oxygen by burning, I form water. The formula for water is H2O. I burn very hot. I combine with other elements, so if you eat or drink something, you are consuming me. In 1766, Henry Cavendish was the first to recognize me as a discrete substance,
 by naming me from Greek words meaning water generator. In 1898, I was liquefied for the first time by James Dewar. In 1899, James Dewar also produced a solid form of me. A lot of me is used for rocket fuel. I have been used as the lifting gas in balloons and
 dirigibles. I do this very well, but being very flammable, accidents are spectacular. The most famous of these was the crash of the Hindenburg in 1937.

THE Rock </h4>

My colleagues at Independence Science are creating an accessible comic featuring three blind dogs; Isci a black lab, Stella a yellow lab and Gadget a chocolate lab. Isci, Stella and Gadget are the smartest dogs on earth. They talk, read braille and their front
 paws are more like hands so they can type, fly a spacecraft, explore and do science. Let your imagination run as these three lovable labs deal with a big rock headed our way. Instead of pictures, captions are provided to describe the action. Note: Picture
 captions start on a new paragraph and are preceded by PC:. </p>

Independence Science acknowledges that we have had disruptive times. Hands-on science learning experiences have proven themselves to be challenging during this pandemic. With your support and enthusiasm Independence Science will continue to work hard to make
 accessible science experiences more possible for blind and low vision students. We know the upcoming months will be difficult for us all and if there is anything Independence Science can do for you, please feel free to reach out to us at <a href="mailto:info@independencescience.com" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">info@independencescience.com</a>.
 We want all of you to stay safe and remember to maintain social distance, when appropriate wear a mask, and wash your hands. We are looking forward to serving you by developing the next generation of science access tools in the months a nd yearsto come.
