Dr Jodi Watt - Making your presentations more accessible

Dr Jodi Watt - Making your presentations more accessible

Dr Jodi Watt, narrating a new blog they wrote for the Dementia Researcher website.

In this blog Jodi's focus is on making scientific presentations more accessible. They highlight common pitfalls, such as using small font sizes or poor colour contrasts, that can make presentations exclusionary. The blog provides practical tips for improvement, such as using clear, sans-serif fonts, defining jargon, ensuring high-contrast colours, and being consistent in design. Captioning, signposting, and avoiding distracting animations are advised to make presentations more inclusive. Jodi encourages using accessibility checkers and being flexible to cater to diverse audience needs, aiming for science communication that is as inclusive as possible (and don't forget Alt Descriptions for non-decorative images).
