Last year, Reading Cycle Campaign ran a photo competition under the heading “The Good, The Bad and The Ugly” for cycle infrastructure in Reading.

In the lead up to #gaad, a series of events on #accessibility is taking place at #UniversityofReading.
I made a small contribution today, talking about accessible teaching with #texmacs.
Of course the presentation itself was also done in TeXmacs ✊
