That changed on Thursday, when /news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/66292/u2013 after months of preparation /news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/66292/u2013 a new high-tech wheelchair was delivered to Lodge at the physics lab where he/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/66292/u2019s conducted research for the past four years. The power wheelchair has a /news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/66292/u201cseat elevator/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/66292/u201d capable of lifting Lodge to a height that allows him to work with scientific instruments that have been out of reach until now. He can move around the lab safely, for the first time at eye level with his fellow researchers./news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/66292/n
