The Press Office of the University of Dundee announced that "By the end of the project, the team plan to make coats available in the campus shop, so that people who use a wheelchair can arrive on campus and go to their lab ready to start working with the same convenience as their course mates and colleagues. The team hope this study will be the first step towards a mass market off-the-peg wheelchair-friendly lab coat."
"But first, they are looking for people who would like to be
involved in the project at the start. Cook explains: "the first and most
important thing for us is finding people who use wheelchairs and work or study
in labs to mentor us. That might involve talking about your experiences and
frustrations, contributing your ideas to the design process and eventually
adopting prototypes to try out in the lab."
If you’re interested in getting involved or would like to find
out more, contact Dr. Melissa D’Ascenzio and Dr. Andrew Cook.
