Hi All,
First, I apologize if this is taken as slightly off-topic, but I felt
it was an appropriate question for this list.
I am totally blind and am currently a guide dog user. I am also a grad
student in a field of science.
I was wondering what travel aids people in this field with low or no
vision have found both are most helpful (e.g., independently navigating
at conferences/on large campuses...) and help them appear most
competent... to their peers, fellow students/faculty, at conferences...
I am getting close to retirement of my dog and am wondering what
individuals on this list have found to be tools that have been most
respected by sighted professionals in your fields. As I hope to attend
and present at conferences regularly, and will be starting to consider
applying for faculty positions or postdocs in a couple of years, I want
to ensure my peers are highly receptive to my appearance both
academically and professionally.
With much thanks,
Christine
