Theoretical physicist by training (PhD in quantum open systems/quantum information), University lecturer for a bit, and currently paying the bills as an engineer working in optical communication (implementation) and quantum communication (concepts), though still pursuing a little science on the side. I'm interested in physics and math, of course, but I enjoy learning about really any area of science, philosophy, and many other academic areas as well. My biggest other interest is hiking and generally being out in nature.

On SciComm.xyz, we have a rule about the use of image description; there are good reasons for that.
The most important one is because we believe that people using screen-readers (or with sight-related problems) should be 1st-class citizens on the Fediverse and should not feel excluded by inaccessible content.
But there are also very down-to-earth reasons why scientists and science communicators should use image descriptions.
A thread.
