Common dolphin whistle responses to experimental mid-frequency sonar
Materials and methods CEEs were conducted with two subspecies of common dolphins. This study was part of a broader effort to quantify group-level responsiveness of oceanic delphinids to military sonar using CEEs around Santa Catalina Island, located off the coast of southern California, USA. Since they regularly occur in mixed groups, we pooled data for the two subspecies to describe baseline vocal data and included subspecies as a potential explanatory variable in our models.
Finding the next generation of leaders to create inclusive businesses – FE News
Whilst DE&I might now warrant an agenda item in board meetings, disability often remains an uncomfortable and undisclosed subject, despite affecting 14.1 million people in the UK. Leaders are critical to driving changes in perception, but CEOs have been slow to dispel myths that disability should be kept behind closed doors.
Disabled and proud: four leaders share their experiences
I initially hid my disability. I found out at the age of 17 that I had ocular albinism - people forget that 80% of disability is invisible. Although I am visually impaired, I could get away with pretending I could see. I hid my disability right through university and into my first job, when I was working for Accenture, because I thought I wouldn’t have the same chances as everybody else.
Why elevating leaders with disabilities is so crucial to disability inclusion
By Caroline Casey 5 minute Read The philosopher Alfred North Whitehead once declared, “A great society is a society in which its men of business think greatly of their functions.” Reflecting on the initiatives pledged at the World Economic Forum last month, Whitehead’s words certainly ring true. From decarbonizing the global economy to investing in health equity, the summit demonstrated the potential power of business to drive positive societal change.
The disability pay gap report: how accurate is it?
Written by Caroline Casey on Monday, 23 May 2022. Posted in Insight, HR, Analysis, People The news that the disability pay gap widened to nearly 15% throughout 2021 serves as yet another example of the way in which disabled workers are consistently overlooked and underserved.

Communications Technologies, Friend Or Foe?
Reflecting on the global gathering of 60,000 telecommunications and tech business executives at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona earlier this month we often forget the full extent of how communication technologies are so vital for people with disabilities.

A Successful IDPD Is One That Ceases To Exist
A Kurt Geiger model Kurt Geiger This year, Friday 3rd December marked the 20th anniversary of International Day for Persons with Disabilities (IDPD) - the United Nations-backed awareness day to promote the rights and inclusion of the 15% of the world’s population living with a disability. It was another ‘successful’ year of promotion and driving awareness across the globe, yet to me the only true success of IDPD is if the marked event ceases to exist.
November - A Month Of Disability Inclusion Hitting The Headlines
In the UK the tag line for the global climate change summit, COP26, this month in Glasgow was “Together for our Planet”. It was billed as a moment to “unite the world” and bring real concrete change to address the climate crisis. Yet to bring everyone together, to allow everyone to unite, we need everyone to have at the very least access to the debate. A participant walks past a COP26 UN Climate Change Conference' poster on the first day of the COP26 ...
Disability inclusion must be an essential part of our pandemic recovery
As the world of work adjusts to a normal following the COVID-19 pandemic, Caroline Casey writes that this presents a perfect opportunity to ensure the workplace, and society as a whole, going forward can be as disability-inclusive as possible. As society and business recovers from the pandemic, it is important to use this moment of national rebuilding to create a new and better normal.

Parkinson's disease genes involved in mitochondrial recycling
Parkinson's disease genes involved in mitochondrial recycling 16 August 2021 Appeared in BioNews 1108 Genes linked to hereditary Parkinson's disease have been found to play a role in recycling mitochondrial products to generate new mitochondria. Researchers in California have found that Parkinson's disease-associated genes, PINK1 and Parkin, are crucial in the mitochondrial life cycle. Disruption of this pathway could contribute to neurodegenerative conditions, such as Parkinson's.

Tokenism Versus Action: The Fashion Industry May Talk The Talk, But Do They Walk The Walk
Last month we saw New York and London Fashion Week take place. A year ago, the fashion industry could have been deemed as ‘the missing voice in disability inclusion’ – but since then it’s stepped up its game and has begun to answer the calls for progress in this space. There have been some excellent examples of fashion companies embedding full inclusion and body positivity into the central components of their business – Sweaty Betty, Kurt Geiger and Tommy Hilfiger spring to mind for example.
2020: The Year The Conversation Around Disability Business Inclusion Shifted
2020 will go down in history for several reasons, with COVID-19 catalysing truly unprecedented changes to the way that we live and work globally. Many of these seismic shifts in the way our lives are carried out in the face of the pandemic – working from home, extended periods of isolation – have also had a knock-on effect on the rhetoric around disability inclusion.

What is intersectionality and how can it help businesses tackle diversity and inclusion?
The diversity and inclusion battle will only be won when people are seen as multi-faceted in their social identities: intersectionality. Intersectionality is a way of understanding how and why every individual’s view of the world is different. From disability to race to age inclusivity, none should be tackled in isolation. Inclusion means everyone all the time – not some people some of the time.

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee
Taking a "big picture" approach to workplace DEI As diversity, equity and inclusion efforts in the workplace continue to evolve, many employers are taking a bigger picture view of their efforts.

And how are changing trends putting at risk all the gains made over the past several years?
Africa: To Build Truly Inclusive Economies, Disability Needs to Be Part of the Conversation
Executives need to look beyond narrow accessibility issues, and realise diversity is good for society and business Inclusion is something that is talked about widely and is slowly becoming a priority in the business world, but disability is seldom included in the conversation. One reason for this is that 80% of disabilities are invisible, which can create an out of sight out of mind mentality.
COVID-19's isolated world is the norm for people for disabilities
• The 1.3 billion living with disabilities worldwide are no stranger to the kind of exclusion the coronavirus has forced on the rest of the population. • The shift in working practices proves that similar adaptations could be made for those with disabilities. • The 'inclusion revolution' has a strong business imperative, but an even stronger moral one.
The coronavirus crisis proves reasonable workplace accessibility has been possible all along
As the new reality of the coronavirus pandemic has set in, people around the world are experiencing the trials of isolation and exclusion of quarantine and social distancing for the first time. We are entering a new norm where a video call is the new meeting, virtual travel is the new weekend activity, and “self-isolation” is a common phrase. Yet for so many people with disabilities, this same experience of seclusion has long been familiar.
How “The Valuable 500” is driving the recognition of people with disabilities
The society we live in celebrates able-bodied individuals so much that most of us don’t realize that the world is becoming less and less inclusive of those who are different. To begin with, every workplace must be made inclusive and inclusive not just from the point of view of gender parity, but from the perspective of people who are physically different. A report by Accenture reported that companies who excel at disability inclusion outperformed their peers.

How Businesses Can Lead a Revolution on Disability Inclusion
Over 50 years ago, we saw the introduction of the Paralympic games. Seemingly a bold idea at the time, they have since become the third largest sporting event in the world — with 4.1 billion people around the world tuning in to Rio de Janeiro in 2016. But while the sporting world has recognized the value of the 1 billion people living with a disability around the world, business and business leadership have routinely ignored the significant contribution that can be made.
