Being blind in the world of High Energy Physics

ORAL

Abstract

Selection mode on, Being blind, as with any disability, brings with it a whole host of challanges.
, , There are not that many people who are visually impaired working in high energy physics.
, ,
, , This talk attempts to look at the intersection of those two worlds.
, , It will explore some of the struggles of doing work in this field while being blind 2 Dash looking at both the physical challanges as well as the structural and instutional.
, , Go through the differences in perspective that something like that can bring.
, , As well as taking a gander through some of the tools, technologies and techniques that exist to mitigate those issues; many of which come from right the most unexpected sources.
, , It is a humble attempt to raise awareness of these issues in order to make the pursuit of scientific research more accessible to more people who may wish to engage in it.
