Devastated for @becca_meyers having to pull out of the #Paralympics after being denied reasonable adjustments around care and support. Hoping Becca's sad decision will be a catalyst for change for future Paralympic athletes.

@ScienceOnA Get in touch if you want to chat about VI access. We'd be happy to go over some ideas with you

@JamieBGall @Kathryn_EB @VisibilityScot @TactileUniverse @Robynwatson76 is on it 😊

This wonderful girl came to Tactile Collider and taught us as much as we taught her. If you can bid on her wonderful book it would be fabulous.

My 12 yo daughter has written a book called "Questions you've always wanted to ask a blind person but never dared ask". It's being auctioned on Ebay and half of the proceeds will go #RNIB. DM me if you'd like a copy of the PDFs to use in school - great for teaching curious kids!

#MaDAwards highly-commended project @TactileCollider is all about getting visually impaired kids and adults to engage with the latest in accelerator physics (like the Large Hadron Collider and the Higgs Boson) with hands-on, sensory workshops https://t.co/QMZ8m5Jx4w

[UoM Physics & Astronomy @UoMPhysics]

Among the nominees: @TactileCollider's accelerator physics engagement with visually impaired audiences, @jodrellbank's widening participation with schools, and @bluedotfestival's innovations in music festival environmental sustainability 🏆🎉

[Robyn Watson @Robynwatson76]

How can we make science accessible to an audience with a visual impairment or other access needs? I was chatting with the virtually social attendees on Friday.

[Tactile Collider @TactileCollider]

Robyn from Tactile Collider will be talking about inclusive science and accessibility tomorrow.

[LOOK @LOOK_UK]

On Wednesday, we're holding a Zoom at 15:30 for #VisuallyImpaired Students - A Coronavirus Lockdown Q&A with experts from @senclude @vipatuni and @Robynwatson76 answering the many questions about University applications.

Some great shared practice from Sam @TactileCollider - think about a range of delivery methods - the drama collisions are inspired! #engagematters

[Tactile Collider @TactileCollider]

@UoMEngage @mags1010 we're talking to scientists about #embodiedlearning today

[Rob Appleby @robappleby]

On my way to @RoyalHolloway @PhysicsRHUL to talk about @TactileCollider and the importance of reaching all audiences with our public engagement! @STFC_Matters @RNIB @cockcroft_news @UoMSciEng

[Tactile Collider @TactileCollider]

Read @robappleby in the @CERNCourier about the creation of tactile collider and our model of engagement! @STFC_Matters @CERNpress @UoMSciEng @cockcroft_news @livuniphysics

We're talking accessible science again. Are there any topics you'd like us to cover? Tweet and let us know. @STFC_Matters @OfficialUoM @livuniphysics

[Tactile Collider @TactileCollider]

@mags1010 Thank you so much for nominating us Margaret. It was such a privilege to win, there were some fabulous nominations and finalists.
