Wanda Diaz Merced studies the light emitted by Gamma-ray bursts, the events with the most energy in the universe. When she lost her sight and had no way to deal with her science her, she had an idea:
The curves of light he could no longer see could be translated into sound. Through the sound system, he took control of it work her, and is now fighting for a more open scientific community.
"Science is for everyone," she says Wanda Diaz Merced. "It must be available to all because we are all by nature explorers."

I believe science is for everyone. It belongs to the world, and it must be available to everyone, because by nature we are all explorers. I think that if we limit people with disabilities from taking part in science, we will break our ties to history and society. I dream of a scientific field with equal opportunities, where people encourage respect and respect each other, where people exchange strategies and discover together. If we accept people with disabilities in the field of science, there will be an explosion, a titanic flare of knowledge. I'm sure.
