As Dr. Raven the Science Maven's PODCAST IS OUT! describes the bedazzled poster she made for her first scientific poster session (when she wasn't told 'how you're so supposed make a research poster'), I'm reminded of Fancy Nancy. ARIS, Advancing Research Impact in Society

I'm a Renaissance Woman and I love a conference that allows me to show my multitudes.

And before your ask, yes, I left some for other people.

Tweeted images always need alt text. If you have an event or program claiming to be about 'diversity, belonging, equity and inclusion,' then your lack of alt text for any image you tweet about this event or program is especially egregious and misses the mark in a big way.

Remember, tweeted images always need alt text. This is true every day, whether it's Election Day or not. On this night full of charts, maps, photos, screen grabs, and memes, don't leave out people who use screen readers. All your tweeted images need alt text.

A transcript is the only way to make video or audio content accessible to someone who is both deaf and blind. Transcripts can be converted into braille, to be read on a refreshable braille output device.

When you don't add alt text to your images you tweet, the default alt text is 'Image.' That doesn't give blind or low-vision users any understanding of the content or context of the image. Always add alt text.

Alt text is not the same as a photo caption. Captions are typically written to support a photo, and usually depend on users being able to see the photo. But alt text is meant to be the stand-in for the photo. The alt text is what a screen reader user gets in place of the photo.
