[Access Lunch] [Accessibility Lunch] - 4/21 NSH 4513 @ 12 PM

[Peya Mowar]

Hi everyone, This Monday, we have Prof. Bryan Shaw joining us remotely for  
the last accessibility lunch this semester. Please find the talk details  
below: Title: … And Science For All: Making Science Accessible to People  
with Blindness and Low Vision Abstract: This seminar will present a handful  
of interventions to make science accessible to children and adults with  
blindness and low vision. These technologic interventions utilize universal  
designs that might help all people learn and do science more easily. Key  
interventions that will be presented include: use of light-scattering  
tactile graphics (“lithophanes”) as universal 2D graphics; oral  
somatosensory perception of 3D models; and the use of 3D printed tools and  
machine vision to make benchtop techniques (e.g., SDS-PAGE, TLC) accessible  
to people with diverse physical and visual abilities. Funding for this  
research is provided by ongoing support from the National Institutes of  
Health (Institute of General Medical Sciences and National Eye Institute),  
the National Science Foundation, and the Robert A. Welch Foundation. Bio:  
Bryan F. Shaw is a Professor in the Department of Chemistry and  
Biochemistry at Baylor University. His research is at the interface of  
special education and molecular science. Half of the work in his research  
group aims to make science (chemistry and biochemistry in particular),  
accessible to people with blindness and low vision. The other half involves  
basic research in bioinorganic and biophysical chemistry and applied  
research in pediatric ophthalmology. We will meet in NSH 4513 for this  
fascinating talk! Thanks and regards, Peya
