April 11, 2023 Dear Dr. Jacob Bolotin Award Committee, Taylor & Francis supports the recommendation of Neil Soiffer for the Dr. Jacob Bolotin Award. Our colleagues have worked alongside Neil on many technical and accessibility groups and found his efforts to extend access, particularly math content, to all users to be exceptional. His service on the MathML Working Group with the W3C has influenced the standard, guiding it toward a more inclusive use and output. MathCAT exemplifies his personal drive to widen access to math for all users. This work promises to overcome the shortfalls of many software systems and publisher systems, producing software which promises to bring the industry as a whole closer to inclusive access to math for all. Taylor & Francis hopes the National Federation of the Blind will recognize the altruistic nature of Neil's years of work and service to the community as a whole by awarding him the Dr. Jacob Bolotin Award.
