Over the years, I've heard lots of folks say that they don't really know what to write for alt-text accessibility. So ... as promised - here are some handy #Accessibility guides! I've written these from the perspective of #SciComm material, but they can be generalised to any field. 🔭🧪🎢 1/3
A prominent ring-like nebula. There are two features. An inner region which is not as dense and has blue-green hues. And an outer, more prominent ring of red dense nebulous gas that is clumpy. A small central star, the white dwarf, is energizing the nebula through its UV radiation causing different gases to be excited and emit different 
colours. Surrounding the central object, are several other stars. There is also text on the image that has title of “astrophotography alt-text” and bullet points: 1. Describe  main object (features, shape, colour, size, depth).  2. Describe its surroundings (isolated, dense star field, 
nebulous). 3. Describe its dynamics (orbiting, radiating, swirling, moving). 4. Describe science processes (merging, illuminating, exhibiting) This is a plot of a pulsar observation, with the x-axis representing the pulse phase and the y-axis representing flux density in units 
of millijansky. The plot contains thre curves, one in black which represents the pulsar’s  profile intensity, one in red which represents 
the linear polarization and one in blue which represents the circular polarization. The pulsar's signal forms a sharp narrow peak around pulse phase 0.35. The intensity profile is much larger than the polarization profiles, which both form a more variant profile, rising up and down. The circular polarization even goes negative. This plot is 
representative of an observation for the pulsar PSR J2241-5236. Above the main plot there is also a smaller sub-plot, which shows the position angle (P.A.) data as a function of the same pulse phase, as well as degrees. The data in this plot is small clusters of data points and their error bars. The P.A. represents the orientation of the linear polarization of light from the observer's perspective. There is also text on the plot, which provides handy accessibility tips and a template for the wording to use, as this image is being used to demonstrate science plot 
accessibility The background image provides a border of many different equations which are presented in various angles and create a box around the image. These equations are science equations and they are in a light grey colour. The text on the image provides guidelines on writing alt-text for images that feature equations, and suggest that a clear description of what the equation represents is given. Then it suggests that short equations should have variables explained (e.g., E equals mc squared where E is energy, m is mass and c is the speed of light, which is squared), and also where large equations should break down the equation into smaller chunks and explain these (e.g., The top term 
 represents the gas cloud’s temperature, which resists collapse. The bottom term describes the density and gravity, which encourages collapse. The square root gives the Jeans Length – a threshold size). Lastly, there is a point to provide a link with MathML for equations in an accessible format, and this is the preferred method.
The background image is a false-colour satellite image of the Tharsis region on Mars, showing elevation changes in terms of colour variability for significant landmarks across a portion of the planet. Whilst the  colour bar is not visible, it shows that the colours representing the elevation starting at blue which is 8km below the flat planes, then go to green which is the level of the flat planes, then go to white, which is about 20km above the plane. Interesting features include three very tall ancient volcanoes on a line, and a single extremely tall volcano (this is Olympus Mons, the highest mountain in the Solar System). To the right of the volcanic region, is a long, almost straight and very deep canyon which is the Valles Marineris. To the top of this image is a lot of blue, indicating low elevation land, and the bottom of image presents lots of impact craters. Overlaid on this image is text that provides guidelines for applying alt-text to geo-maps. It includes describing the map purpose, describing the legend, colour-bar and labels, describing interesting features and providing further context, such as structures, shapes, perspective in adjacent descriptions in article or posts.

This hits. We rarely get time to sit with research long enough for it to refine our thinking. It becomes ‘read fast, apply, evidence, move on’ - compliance, not scholarship. Protecting proper collegial space for reading, reflection and informed judgement feels precious - and worth exploring.
