Articles on Disabled Community in Science
With 2020 being the 30th birthday of the ADA, the subject of the disabled community in science is overdue. Disabled individuals are much less represented in STEM than other activities. Many with disabilities still face multiple hurdles when accessing the workforce and/or high education.

Over 53% of PhDs are awarded to women. Yet, only 12% of recognized innovators in the United States are women. As of 2012, women accounted for ~17% of inventorships at universities. Women and underrepresented faculty, trainees and employees have technical skill and knowledge, yet their contributions are not patented at the same rate as those of their male counterparts. These statistics suggest that our organizations may not be capturing the full contribution of a large segment of our technical workforce - resulting in significant lost opportunity costs (e.g., unpatented inventions, delayed disclosures, etc.). The insights and perspectives of women are necessary to solve the monumental challenges our organizations face. The linked toolkits can help organizations move the needle on achieving gender parity in innovation. While these resources are geared towards inventorship, there are lots of practical suggestions that can be applied in a variety of settings.
