A tactile approach to introduce the skin autoimmune disease psoriasis to the general public and the vision-impaired community
Immunology and cell biology(2024)
摘要
Scientific outreach activities play an important role in disseminating knowledge, connecting the general public to research and breaking down scientific skepticism barriers. However, the vision-impaired community is often disadvantaged when the most common audio-visual approach of scientific communication is applied. Here we integrated tactile clues in the scientific communication of immune processes involved in the autoimmune skin disease psoriasis. We fostered the involvement of the vision-impaired community through interactive experiences, including tactile scientific origami art, a haptic poster and wood-carved molecular models. Readily accessible science communication that engages a number of senses is a critical step toward making science more inclusive and engaging for individuals with a wide range of sensory abilities. The approach of the 2023 Monash Sensory Science exhibition aligns with the principles of equity, diversity and inclusion and helps to empower a more informed and scientifically literate public.
