<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">Hi <br><br>This Thursday 19 January, 6:30 to 8:30pm GMT, there'll be a special online meeting on STEM accessibility, from author to reader. It is a double length meeting because we have three special guest speakers Jason White, Jonathan Godfrey and Patrick Smyth, all having expert knowledge and experience both personal and professional. There'll be ample time for questions and discussion afterwards.<br><br>Further details (and afterwards the video recording) are at <a href="https://texhour.github.io/2023/01/19/stem-access-author-reader/" target="_blank">https://texhour.github.io/2023/01/19/stem-access-author-reader/</a>.<br><br>The Zoom URL is <a href="https://us02web.zoom.us/j/78551255396?pwd=cHdJN0pTTXRlRCtSd1lCTHpuWmNIUT09" target="_blank">https://us02web.zoom.us/j/78551255396?pwd=cHdJN0pTTXRlRCtSd1lCTHpuWmNIUT09</a>.<br><br>In case you haven't already heard, last month the arXiv preprint service published its framework for improved accessibility to the research papers it hosts.
