Accessibility is about designing with usability for all people in mind. When we think about accessibility in data science most data scientists are familiar with using color-blind friendly colors in their data visualizations, but for many, thinking of examples and discussion beyond this is hard. We as data scientists need to design for more diverse populations to make a real impact on the world.
