From a recent binaural carwash adventure on their own podcast. To adventures talking space with us and Christine Malec's dream of one day meeting astronaut Chris Hadfield, from one Chris to the other. You heard it here first, on the latest episode of Outlook. The two hosts of Talk Description to Me, Christine Malec and JJ Hunt, who we spoke to about their podcast on ours last winter, are involved in a cool new project that we wanted to highlight. For months, Malec and Hunt have been working with Kim Arcand from the Chandra X-Ray observatory (who has been doing this sort of visual scientific translating since 98), and now these three are creating written descriptions of the data visualizations that are generated from Chandra research into astronomy from deep space. Malec reached out to us, last spring on Outlook about all of this, wondering whether we'd be interested in interviewing the three of them about the work, including some of the descriptions they've generated, and/or a sonification or two. It's a type of translation, from data, translated to 3D printed models, into audio sonifications. From exploding stars to colliding galaxies and galaxy clusters. As a visualization scientist, Arcand is letting NASA know that though blind people may have felt intimidated by the stem fields for much too long now, it's a new world of expanded forms of audio and image description. It's time to expand the infinite number of possibilities for making astronomy and all sciences more accessible and inclusive. All of this work is making astronomy more accessible to people who are blind and low vision. Kim, JJ and Christine are eager to spread the word about these projects, as Christine says, “Mostly cause they're cool, but partly to show NASA that accessibility work is valued by our community.” And all the laughs and science puns, like the cherry on top of what's already a pretty special Outlook episode to begin with. For more information on this accessible astronomy work from Christine, JJ, and Kim, visit Chandra's website. Check out Kim Arcand's own site and be sure to check out her TED Talk too.

What's a fire tornado? How do the northern lights appear in the night sky? What does Joe Biden's wearing of aviator sunglasses represent culturally? Who is The Falling Man? What exactly is a meme anyway? And what do Mike Pence and Grandpa Simpson have to do with one another? To our blind listeners, for answers to these questions and more, check out Outlook this week where we speak with Christine Malec and JJ Hunt, a blind/sighted team, out of Toronto, who are behind Talk Description to Me, where: “the visuals of cultural events and the world around us get hashed out in description rich conversations”. From one podcast team to another, this episode contains silly moments like our thoughts on how fun goalball actually is to discussion on moving images such as the 9/11 Memorial. JJ has a background in theatre and draws on that in his work describing images and the sighted world that we, as blind people, can often miss. Christine is a musician and audio description consultant and together these two are making quite a splash in the ever expanding world of audio description. And for our sighted listeners, could you describe, in detail, the horror and the heroic actions on a day like 9/11 to someone who was unable to see it with their own eyes? Audio description is an art form and a necessary one, like all art is, but it matters to many of us who want to feel included and to have access to what is seen in popular culture and in news and current events around the world. Some blind people have something of a visual memory and others have never seen, but inclusion is thankfully becoming an universal standard.
