Love the fact that #ATA62 is not really over, just watched @PetraRieker 's session on the Spectrum of Translatability. Excellent session! The Umberto Eco quote she shared says it all... the perfect translation is impossible, yet we translate.
Excited to go to #ATA62 and share some of my thoughts on how we can embark on the Endless Journey that is Maintaining a Career as a #LanguageProfessional on October 30 @2:15pm. The session is for both #interpreters and #translators.

Very interesting article. I do not know too much about the many languages of the African continent, and it is interesting to hear about the ties between #language and #culture and the history behind the #Kaaps and #Afrikaans languages. https://t.co/64rEwyXocG
The conversation about #BilingualStaff reemerges regularly for #LanguageAccess in #Healthcare. I really enjoyed this article's take on the role of bilingual staff and #Interpreters. Direct #communication IS ideal IF interlocutors have the language skills. https://t.co/XrpBEfvaqC
@NCIHC Pen & paper. I am a huge believer in #notetaking for #interpreters. If you let them both count as one, my next item is water, but probably should be hand sanitizer considering the current situation. https://t.co/wCigt1xQTo
The 14th Annual Membership Meeting for @NCIHC is well underway. Looking forward the keynotes and #languageaccess cafés. Loved @RBalistreri's welcome message where she acknowledges how traumatic recent events may be for many, and touches on equality vs equity. #NCIHC2021
So many great presentations. So little time @CHIAinterpreter annual conference. Coming up @MIIS alum @GSiebach on “Freelancing as a Healthcare Interpreter: How to Diversity While Specializing” & “Navigating Online Interpreter Training Landscape" by Natalya Mytareva @CCHIcertify
I decided to jot down some thoughts about my first on-site interpreting assignment since COVID-19 was declared a pandemic. What have your experiences been like? https://t.co/zf7iQatoWe
Looking forward to what promises to be a great presentation on interpreters working with attorneys, providers and detained immigrants in removal proceedings.
@cpqualscvs shares an key case related to the need for #InformedConsent. What is our role as interpreters in ensuring that the nature, purpose, risks, and alternatives to a procedure are? #CHIA2020
Which pain scale allows you to better describe your pain? Pain is very subjective and how we describe it is highly tied to our experiences. Thank you #CHIA2020
