Diana Czuchry
I am a PhD biochemist who spent the last three years working in a synthetic biology laboratory in China, at the Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology. Learn more about our lab here.
I now work for a web development company, Evolving Web, while finishing law school in the hopes of soon working in intellectual property law.

Web Accessibility
I started to take an interest in web accessibility in 2020 when everything was quickly moving online. It's imperative to ensure equal access to information for everyone as we interact more and more with the world through virtual connections. I wrote a series of Blog Posts for Evolving Web to help people learn more about accessibility.
