You can be blind and still work as an astronomer

We all like TED talks, although there are so many these days it's hard to keep up. But the TED Radio Hour does a great job of distilling the best. Moreover, they edit the salient points and then weave them together with interviews with the talkers. There are many great ones. This one on the 5 senses is excellent for ToK in reminding us of the peculiarities of sense perception. It's worth listening to the whole episode which touches a lot of ToK bases but the first story of the blind astronomer is a great place to start.
