A little more about the 2027 #DisabledInSTEM Mentorship Program and who can participate!

Whether you’re looking for mentorship or hoping to support disabled people in STEM, there’s a place for you in our community.

Applications are open through Dec. 11!
Lavender graphic for the DisabledInSTEM 2027 Mentorship Program announcing that applications are now open. The program is recruiting disabled mentees in STEM to connect with mentors, build community, and grow in their STEM journeys, as well as disabled and nondisabled mentors to share their experience, support the next generation, and make STEM more inclusive. The international program is entering its 7th year and has had more than 400 participants. Applications are due December 11, 2026. Link in bio to apply. DisabledInSTEM logo appears at the top. Lavender graphic titled “DisabledInSTEM 2027 Mentorship Program: Why Join the Program?” The program has spent 7 years building and growing, with more than 400 mentors and mentees participating. It is an international community connecting disabled people across institutions, disciplines, and career stages. The program’s impact has been recognized in Nature Reviews Materials and through the 2024 NEB Passion in Science Award for Scientific Mentorship and Advocacy. DisabledInSTEM logo appears at the top.

Mentorship is about more than career advice. It’s about finding people who understand, building community, and knowing you don’t have to navigate STEM alone.

We can’t wait to welcome our 2027 #DisabledInSTEM mentorship cohort!
Lavender graphic titled “DisabledInSTEM 2027 Mentorship Program: Who Can Apply?” Mentees are members of the disabled community in STEM, including disabled, chronically ill, and neurodivergent people from all STEM fields and career stages. No medical disclosure is required. Disabled mentors and nondisabled ally mentors are welcome. Mentors can be STEM professionals passionate about supporting others, and prior mentoring experience is not required. Participants do not need to share the same disability, discipline, or career path to build a meaningful connection. DisabledInSTEM logo appears at the top. Lavender graphic titled “DisabledInSTEM 2027 Mentorship Program: What to Expect.” The year-long program is designed to foster meaningful connection and lasting impact. Participants connect with disabled people and allies across fields and around the world, build lasting friendships and support networks beyond their institutions, and grow by sharing resources, opportunities, challenges, and successes. Participants are matched into mentorship pods with multiple mentees and multiple mentors, creating a supportive community space for ongoing support and connection. DisabledInSTEM logo appears at the top.

What happens when barriers unrelated to scientific ability determine who gets to do science?
I wrote about accessibility, mentorship, and the experiments we may never know were possible in my new piece for The Node, The Experiments We Never Run. #DisabledInSTEM

Accessibility isn't always what you expect. Today I got the chance to discuss how physically accessing food makes conferences inaccessible. Some of us can't eat what's at the venue and transit to grocery stores is not easy, especially without a car.

@brythebotanist.bsky.social points out that the geosciences are doing a good job adapting lessons to take advantage of rocks and minerals accessible to all students on campus. Botanists should follow their lead to lower physical access barriers.
