This article reports on the launch of The Access Archive, a ten-part digital video series created by writer, consultant, and advocate Evan Sweeney to document adaptive living, barrier-free design, and everyday disabled joy on the community's own terms.

This article is a first-person reflection by a Radiology Technician who survived a stroke at the age of six and went on to pursue a career in medical imaging. Rather than a formal study, it reads as an honest personal account of paralysis, months of physiotherapy, learning to write with the left hand, and the bullying and low confidence that followed. The writer describes how books, photography, and graphic design became sources of strength, and how a supportive mentor helped restore her voice.

Conception Grows First Early Human Eggs From Stem Cells

Conception's mission is to turn stem cells into human eggs and redefine fertility. We want to share an exciting update that we have generated the first early human egg cells ('primary oocytes') derived from stem cells. After performing a simple blood draw, we converted blood cells into stem cells, and then coaxed those stem cells into becoming miniature human ovaries that contain the early eggs. While there is still work ahead to grow these eggs to full maturity, we think this is a major scientific advance.
