- What are some ways that Tucson can improve quality of life for people living with visual impairment? Mark talks with Dr. Penny Rosenblum, a Tucsonan who is a national leader in the field of vision impairment, who has also been the Director of Research at the American Foundation for the Blind. In April of 2020, she was the primary researcher for the Flatten Inaccessibility Study. Its purpose was to learn how those who are blind or have low vision were impacted in the early stages of the pandemic.
