How accessible is science? With science communication becoming more and more popular on TV and YouTube, the accessibility of science is improving. However, what if you don't speak English? Your access is more limited. Now, how about if you cannot hear?

​

While science is taking positive steps to make information more accessible, there are demographics who are often unsupported in our efforts to democratize science. 

​

This film is an effort to show that science can be carried out by, and made accessible to, people who are hearing impaired. More generally it is a call for science communication to consider how it can be more accessible.
