Happy National Space Day! We should build a future in space that is accessible to all. AstroAccess is an organization I helped start to encourage universal design and disability inclusion in space. Here's a great article on the program (see pp 10-15): lnkd.in/gSgXmiEk
This was a lot of fun and learning and I love hanging out with #SpaceJesus @lucasradaelli and the @astroaccess crew! Have a listen.

Skills learnt by playing the fantasy tabletop role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons could be transferable to the workplace, according to a university lecturer, who says it has team-building benefits. ab.co/3Nl4AZ7
When @mindsatplay_au meets @Levelupdice @powerhouse heroes slay dragons! Awesome seeing you here.
Here is hoping, but I am always open to be consulted on how it impacts me and the community I serve.
