Looking for folks that are blind in the science field(self.Blind)

Hello Wonderful People!
I am writing to find someone specifically in the field of epidemiology or in the science field. I really want to do studies on infectious diseases through epidemiology but wonder if this would even be feasible considering I am going blind. Any suggestions? Anyone willing to give me some guidance.
Hi I’m not a clinical scientist but I’m a legally blind postdoctoral researcher in a biology lab.

Certainly in research, I know a couple of people working in the medical field that have severe visual impairments. One with out light perception. One is a researcher in oncology, the other works in nuclear science. We did several of our undergrad courses together. Both seem to be very successful in their respective fields.

I don’t know if this is a lot to ask for, but do you happen to have any of their contacts? Or maybe even you? I really need some guidance on what to do and expect. It would put me at ease if this is possible!

I’m curious to learn as well. My son is going blind and has wanted to be a paleontologist since he was 6. He’s 15 and beginning to think about college
