@A_dmg04 I'm a blind Destiny player. I love the game the thought your Devs have put into accessibility, but I'm struggling this episode with unspoken dialogue. Would it be possible to publish transcripts at any point? That or an audio cue for when dialogue is starting?

Just a quick note to anybody who's still on here to say that my twitter username is now @NicBonne

@OliverKennett @RNIBRadio All of our models (STL) files are available for download through https://t.co/Wh2GkiYGAo

Have had such a wonderful week at #AudibleUniverse2 @lorentzcenter, meeting & learning from other astronomers, educators, musicians, psychologists & sound experts passionate about sonification of astronomical data and phenomena for education, outreach, research & accessibility

Dr Nic Bonne from @UoPCosmology answers a question from Rosella for @ConversationUK.

He says to properly understand what a galaxy is, we should start by looking at our own Milky Way galaxy 🌌

@KatherineLeech1 @legophysicsguy @TactileUniverse Could be worth reaching out to @RNIBBookshare?

@xangma Brie stuffed garlic would also be a wondrous thing

@UKAstroNerd @astro_hedgehog @BBCStargazing @darkskyobs @BBCFOUR @TactileUniverse @BBCiPlayer When you do start printing, make sure to leave the models orientated the way that they are when you download them. They need to be printed standing on their thin edge to get the best result....

[BBC The Sky at Night @BBCStargazing]

We're back on Sunday @BBCFOUR 22:00 with 'Beyond the visible' meeting remarkable, vision-impaired astronomers who are pioneering ways to research using their senses of hearing and touch @coffee_samurai @TactileUniverse Wanda Diaz-Merced #skyatnight Audio description available

[Nicolas Bonne @NicBonne]

@astro_hedgehog I'm not looking forward to the next time I travel for work and have to re-enter the UK. As a French citizen with guaranteed UK settled status, a job and a UK spouse I'll have every right to be here, but I just know I'm going to get a grilling....

[Nicolas Bonne @NicBonne]

@AngstAHD I'd be really happy to chat to you and your son in the new year. If you send me a PM, we can work out the best way to connect. Hope you both have a wonderful winter break

[Nicolas Bonne @NicBonne]

Just spoke about @TactileUniverse at #IAUS358 in a session moderated by another blind astronomer with a further two blind astronomers in the audience. This is not the norm, but it so totally could be!

[ESO @ESO]
