Carol's Story
Life
Lately I play medieval music. I'm in a group that performs 2-3 times a year. It's a blast. My biggest recent achievement is surviving cancer.

Workplace
After I retired from doing research in microbiology, I found a new career as a tactile graphics specialist. I transcribe textbooks and other materials into braille. I specialize in technical texts such as mathematics, complete with graphs and figures in raised dots. It involves art and science--my two favorite areas. I can also read and write in braille.
