I'm proud to be part of this this movement of the world and we call it what better name than free the science
The information is presented well, it was clear, easy to understand, and effective. Using spokespeople that are scientists to advocate on sharing their work is convincing tool to the audience. It feels like they want to share with others and even feels genuine.

widely available you may have people reading the journal that wouldn't normally read the journal or people that maybe aren't sophisticated highly trained in science but they would have access to that information and often times that's where innovative 00:02:26 out-of-the-box ideas come
Something I cannot help but think about is how will open access ensure change for the entire world, and not just the world of science? Open access doesn’t inspire engagement that is not there, it can encourage it, but I see it as “leading a horse to water, but you cannot force it to drink”. What happens after open access? Will the average person really have that much collaboration or a say on what happens next? It’s more like wishful thinking to me.

means that we are truly democratizing the the whole the practice of publishing so everybody in the world yes we're having an internet connection hard effort can have access to any information I think it's really readable
What I find convincing is the argument that stated that publishing is become democratized, which I think it true because it will create a freedom or equality to who can have access to the science research without worrying about paying for it.

barriers that we continue to face all of everything that requires disabled people to be resilient and to be celebrated for being 00:14:58 resilient when we're only just trying to survive in the environments that we're in and that we don't have the tools to thrive because of systemic forms of ableism
I was not aware of the term "ableism" prior to this webinar and did not think that I would be a participant. However, I have learned that my trained viewpoint of disability makes me fall into the category of an ableist. To see that another group of people fighting for DEI from the systemic barriers set in place shows that there is still so much to learn about DEI and so much farther we need to go to obtain it.

that when thinking about access and making our programs and spaces inclusive we need to move away from medicalized language and perceptions of disabled people towards this social model where you know it is 00:12:09 the space it is the program it is the thing right that is determining if somebody has access or not and that is something we have control
Medicalized language is something I was taught, and was not aware that it may be incorrect for some people, so we should ask how to address the person. I think the social model would benefit from being switched because we're taught the disability is not who the person is, but now it seems like it is a part of their identity which is opposite of what we were initially taught.

accessibility is a skill set it's not one of those things where you can learn it and then just say hey i'm done i'm now an accessible science communicator my job here is done it's a lifelong process where you need 00:46:29 to continuously learn and seek out material to make sure that the practices still are accessible and that social media and other things are not changing you can start small so maybe just by adding alt text challenge yourself to 00:46:42 say i'm going to add alt text to all of my images i post from now on this is just starting small and as you build one accessible practice it leads the way to having more confidence to include other accessible practices in the future
"Accessibility is a skillset" is a very strong point. It is very easy to do something once and believe that it's is added to your identity, but it's not that simple. Going back in the Kearns reading I see parallels in the practice of inclusivity and accessibility because it will continuously change and will need to be altered. Just like how one interviewee stated she hates the word "inclusivity" because after they add oe POC into the mix they have reached their quota to be considered "inclusive". Accessibility, like inclusivity must be practice consistently and thoroughly.

context is everything so it really depends on what you want to show you want to ask yourself what is the point of the image that you are showing you also want to concentrate on that so 00:37:12 whatever the focus of the image is is what you should be using to describe so you briefly describe the rest but focus on what your whatever message you're trying to provide so this includes also writing on images 00:37:25 so on the right of the screen here we have an image so this image could be described in a multitude of different ways depending on what the focus is that you're trying to describe to your audience
In my work I have never used Alt Text on any images, and seeing this described in these steps is really eye opening. I've never considered accessibility in this matter when it comes to STEMM, and it's shown me that science communication is not only inaccessible socially, and financially, but by physical capabilities as well.

i brought some friends along to help me out okay
The usage of visuals is great way to keep your audience engaged, so this was a great tool to use for her explanation.

to recognize it and make enough antibodies okay so you don't have 00:02:49 to get the full-blown disease or symptoms of that disease now you have a bunch of antibodies so the next time you come in contact with the coronavirus you get from somebody else or in a space where someone has it your body should have enough antibodies to fight off the 00:03:02 infection without you getting the full-blown disease i hope that's helpful
The content of this video can be seen as trustworthy and factual because the Dr. Tolson has a PhD. I believe it can be considered a form of science communication because she is discussing a scientific topic to the general public in a way to explain it simply. I believe that her facts are accurate, which is highly important in science communication, so I don't believe it can be discredited.

misinformation that's been floating around lately so no it's not ignorant and i know that trust has 00:00:33 been pretty hard to build with the science community and whatnot so thank you so much for trusting me to answer this for you
I really like how she is establishing trust with her audience by acknowledging that those in the science community have shared various things that aren't the same. The trust component id important.

little spikes and so these proteins are what our body recognizes when it invades our body 00:01:21 okay and this guy right here is mr antibody he's one of the good guys part of our white blood cells okay when these guys are around they find all the bad guys in our body and they make 00:01:33 sure that they can't hurt us anymore all right but you can't get these guys unless you get sick or invaded by a bad guy that's when these things come out so there's no bad guys then there's no good guys okay because 00:01:46 good guys come after the back and for a room take care of all the bad guys
Usage of certain words, like "little spikes" "good guys" "bad guys" to describe characteristics of the microbes is helps us understand the target audience are those who aren't in the sciences. It also makes it easier to comprehend what she's saying.
