DESCRIPTION:Navigating the field of polar research is tricky\, especially 
 for people with disabilities. Whilst the field has progressed\, there are 
 still accommodations that need to be made\, and discussions that need to b
 e had regarding inclusivity. Accessibility in Polar Research (APR) was fou
 nded during the pandemic by a small group of disabled researchers who have
  all faced adversities in the field due to their disabilities. In just und
 er two months\, we found ourselves with a platform exceeding 700 followers
  on Twitter (@accesspolar). Each of us are so incredibly grateful to have 
 been given such a space to facilitate the discussion of making the polar f
 ield more accommodating. This talk will give you a little taste of what AP
 R has done\, what it is aiming to do in the future and why the polar field
  needs to become more inclusive (using our experiences). We will also leav
 e you with some of our top tips to make your research more accessible and 
 give you the opportunity to ask us some questions.
