I am the owner and principal consultant for Renaissance Woman Consulting LLC and a dedicated lifelong learner. I actively cross pollinate impactful ideas across industries and disciplines. I'm passionate about education, communication, outreach and networking. I keep issues related to diversity, equity, inclusion, belonging, access, accessibility and justice at the heart of my work. I've spent years specializing in science communication in TV/radio, education and the non-profit realm, utilizing my training as a scientist, journalist and educator to bridge gaps between the scientific community and those who consider themselves to be outside of it. I'm involved nationally in diversity in STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) and STEM engagement initiatives that seek to inspire interest and excitement for STEM broadly. Partnerships and equitable collaboration have been a huge focus of my work as I connect people and organizations with similar interests and help them strategically work together. I'm involved with teaching/education in other realms as well, including facilitating/moderating virtual training for out-of-school educators, tutoring and designing/leading camps for youth on a plethora of topics, designing formal education curriculum, leading fitness classes, and working as a broadcast journalist/meteorologist. I enjoy a Renaissance woman life-style filled with unusual adventures and intriguing people.
#Accessibility needs to be at the center of the work of science centers and museums, both at their physical location as well as in their digital engagement. I'm so excited to share the Digital Accessibility Toolkit @MerylEvans and I helped the Association of Science and Technology Centers create!
And the resources and information in this toolkit are valuable well beyond the science museum world, especially for #educators, #journalists, #marketers and others who focus on #communication.
Adding to my list of people who are great at creating descripptions for their images, you'll find that @kellylepo pposts fantastic #astronomy pictures along with context and #AltText. It's always good to examine #photos closely. Detailed descriptions should let you do it too.
I do like it here on Mastodon, but the huge influx of people from Twitter means there are far fewer image descriptions than from even a couple of weeks ago. I’d love to tell every one of them about this, but quite frankly there are so many I don’t have the patience. I’d dearly love it if apps could block posts unless an image description was added to every photo, but I suppose that’s too much to hope for. I’m feeling really excluded from so many conversations. It’s getting as bad as Twitter.
When I first spent more time here I was so happy to see almost every photo had Alt Text and I very quickly learned how easy it was to add to my posted photos. Now I'm a bit sad that I see so many gorgeous photos without Alt-Text ( which I choose not to boost ) 😩
Step it up #Photography you can be better.

Pals, I see a lot of people copy-pastaed their Twitter bio here - you can have longer and even formatted bios here, and remove all the kludges you did to make them fit on birdsite if you so desire! Remember, hastags of interests, groups, and topics help people find you. 
There are also custom emoji on your server (they vary) that you can utilize! (Here's a lookup to check a server's https://emojos.in/).
Who are my friends here? Who to follow? I'm interested in disability stuff (esp. arts and culture), audio description, narration, I'm a temporarily working actor, a virtual arts admin, I like goofy stuff and cats (mostly mine) and have big TikTok binges. #Intro #NYPLAccess
@Sheril I loved learning about your personal connection to this too!
