Oh, it's the third Thursday of May, which means it is: Global Accessibility Awareness Day! You can really make the internet more inclusive by doing simple things like adding alt-text to images, using high-contrast text, adding captions to your vids and more. #Accessibility 👇👇👇

If you are in #SciComm, then there has never been a more important time to ensure the science is inclusive. But science plots / science images are a bit harder to describe in terms of #accessibility -- I get that. These are complex images. That's why I made some guides! Check this thread 👇

Over the years, I've heard lots of folks say that they don't really know what to write for alt-text accessibility. So ... as promised - here are some handy #Accessibility guides! I've written these from the perspective of #SciComm material, but they can be generalised to any field. 🔭🧪🎢 1/3

A prominent ring-like nebula. There are two features. An inner region which is not as dense and has blue-green hues. And an outer, more prominent ring of red dense nebulous gas that is clumpy. A small central star, the white dwarf, is energizing the nebula through its UV radiation causing different gases to be excited and emit different colours. Surrounding the central object, are several other stars. There is also text on the image that has title of “astrophotography alt-text” and bullet points: 1. Describe main object (features, shape, colour, size, depth). 2. Describe its surroundings (isolated, dense star field, nebulous). 3. Describe its dynamics (orbiting, radiating, swirling, moving). 4. Describe science processes (merging, illuminating, exhibiting)

'The field now faces a choice: Continue refining a construct that resists coherence or use this moment to redirect attention towards the underlying factors that imposter experiences illuminate.' TLDR: 'imposter syndrome' is likely to be a *system* effect, not an individual trait. #MedEd

Fascinating piece about how the fear of microplastics is almost certainly overblown. One takeaway for me is that even the scientists behind the microplastics=bad papers are VERY reserved about whether these findings are really problematic. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

‘A bombshell’: doubt cast on discovery of microplastics throughout human body

Exclusive: Some scientists say many detections are most likely error, with one high-profile study called a ‘joke’
