 panel to discuss how data captured by the observatory is processed and made accessible for scientists with visual impairments and how astronomers with visual impairments pursue their careers. Panelists will include Dr. Wanda Diaz, who is blind and is a leading
 proponent of sonification of astrophysical data, and Christine Malec, an accessibility consultant who also is blind.</span></p>
