EASI at http://www.rit.edu/~easi/ schedules weekly interviews. Last night EASI's weekly roundtable webcast interviewed Dr. Larry Scadden from the National Science Foundation's Program for Persons with disabilities. This program included more than 2 dozen grants involving some exciting and innovative projects to make the fields of science and math more accessible to students and professionals with disabilities.

In the coming weeks and months, the roundtable will host people from these NSF grant projects so that listeners can get an inside view of what is happening. Next week, November 5, our guests will be from the University of Southern Maine's biotechnology Works Project. Tune in on Thursdays posted at 9 Eastern, 8 Centeral, 7 Mountain and 6 Pacific Times. All webcasts will become part of our archive for you to listen to later.
