Subject: Data science question

Hello Kennedy and Karl,

I was at the Digital Government Summit this morning and all the data discussions made me curious if the NFB had any relationships with data scientists or that field in general.  Since I'm the de facto tester for the enterprise data team, I'm looking into improving or coming up with new approaches to accessibility in that area.

Sincerely,
