The night sky is truly awe inspiring to contemplate with its millions of stars, planets and galaxies. And this week’s guest is a leading astronomer who works to make the universe more accessible for everyone regardless of their VI condition.
This week on Talking in the Dark Evie speaks with visually impaired astronomer and creator of the ‘Tactile Universe’ project, Dr Nic Bonne.
During this fascinating discussion Evie learns all about Nic’s life and work including: the childhood experiences that inspired his deep love and interest in astronomy, some of the challenges he has faced in his work as a visually impaired scientist, and the wonderful ‘Tactile Universe’ project.
This was a stimulating conversation with a fascinating guest and we thank Nic greatly for his time and wisdom.
