Does thetechnology help our modern students to establish a link between “classroom physics” and “playgroundphysics?” In retrospect, we attempt to answer these questions based on three case studies conductedduring the Fall 2007 Introductory Newtonian Mechanics course and the Spring 2008 Electricity andMagnetism course.

engineering (BME), which is still a young field relative to the more“traditional” engineering disciplines, has been responsible for many high-impact biomedicaladvances (both clinically and in basic research) over the past 50-60 years1. However, over thelast decade the field of BME has been significantly transformed by far-reaching new scientificand technological developments. The human genome has been sequenced2,3, the field ofbioinformatics has generated powerful data annotation and database management tools4,diagnostic and imaging approaches are evolving at a rapid pace due to advances in molecularnanotechnology5, and computational power and capabilities are increasing exponentially everyyear.

Despite the availability of a rich collection of published research on womenfaculty that has increasingly used an intersectional lens, these conversations rarely meaningfullyaddress strategies to make faculty careers more welcoming and accessible to women withdisabilities. Further, as the professoriate ages, there will be an increasing number of faculty withdisabilities, and the pandemic has a disproportionate impact on many faculty with disabilities
