July is National Disability Pride Month
In honor of National Disability Pride Month, the Alaska Region is highlighting the diverse work of biologist Dr. Skylar Bayer and her upcoming book on disabilities and chronic medical conditions in STEM fields. July is National Disability Pride Month, which commemorates the passing of the Americans with Disabilities Act on July 26, 1990. ADA prohibits discrimination against people with disabilities, including in employment, transportation, public accommodations, and communications, and in relation to access to state and local government services.
Dr. Bayer’s new book, Uncharted, is a collection of powerful first-person stories by current and former scientists with disabilities or chronic conditions who have faced changes in their careers, including both successes and challenges, because of their health.
