How scientists with disabilities are making research labs and fieldwork more accessible
Disabled scientists are trying to make research labs and fieldwork more accessible. They say labs and field sites arenβt designed to serve them.
New story about efforts to increase accessibility in STEM featuring our accessible field trip at #GSAConnects2024 and contributions from a who's-who of amazing folks working to make science a better place for people with disabilities! apnews.com/article/acce...

Writing Alt Text for Data Visualization
How do you write text that conveys the whole meaning of a visualization? You probably canβt. But that doesnβt mean that you shouldnβt try
Many struggle with writing alt text for charts and other other data visualizations. Amy Cesal's "Writing Alt Text for Data Visualization" hammers home the importance of explaining the chart type, the type of data, and the reason for the chart.
