Data Accessibility with Low Vision Scientist Video Watch time under 1 minute July 9, 2024 Image How do we make data more accessible for people who are blind or have low vision? Amy Bower, a Senior Scientist at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute who is blind, discusses different ways to represent data. She explains how when data is represented in sound, the ear can pick up patterns that the eye might not be able to see. This is why frequency mapping, when low tones match with low numbers and high tones represent high numbers, is an effective way to map data without a graph. This method is just one step that can be made in making science accessible to everyone! Topics Environmental Science Data Science Women in STEM Share
