Dedicated to Improving the Lives of Blind and Visually Impaired People

Remembering 9/11

It’s September 11, so let’s start with a moment of reflection to honor the lives of those who perished.

Hingson recently joined Independence Science at Purdue University, where he’s using his physics education and public speaking skills to inspire students to pursue STEM careers. Find an interesting interview with Hingson about his employment history on the AFB site.
