A few weeks ago I was honored to present on accessible astronomy for Vancouver based Vocal Eye's Almost Live event, "Speed Dating With the Cosmos." Alongside a collection of #audioDescription of stuff like Mars, and the Falcon Rocket, I highlighted sonifications of astronomical images, and spoke with Sherry Wells Jensen, who flew on an #AstroAccess flight. You can check out the YouTube video here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zb26dsw4arU
