Our October issue looks at making science—and scientific spaces—more accessible to deaf individuals #DeafInSTEM

The cover: a new sign for 'crystal' developed by deaf scientists for possible use by the American Sign Language community. Quantum ASL video: https://t.co/7E2fiyrqQ0

Cover is inspired by a Viewpoint [👉https://t.co/35NfZbWFLx👈] on expanding ASL for scientific contexts by Colin Lualdi, Barbara Spiecker (@ulva_jelly), Alicia Wooten (@aliciakwooten) & Kaitlyn Clark!

New conceptually & linguistically accurate signs for 💨states of matter💧:

Colin Lualdi, Barbara Spiecker (@ulva_jelly), Kaitlyn Clark, and I have published an op-ed on “Advancing scientific discourse in ASL”! Check it out here: https://t.co/3dmP11ljhf

We are so excited to launch our newly renovated website that is 100% bilingual (ASL and English)!!!

Read below to see our new features!

Our website is your website. Thank you for being part of this wonderful community and helping us to continuously give back to the community!

@WhySharksMatter As a deaf marine ecologist, I can attest to this. Trying to get conferences to provide ASL-English interpreters can be a huge pain. As a result, I do not attend conferences as much as I would like to.

PhyloPic 2.0 is getting very close to ready for beta launch! I thought I'd share some screenshots of the site in development. Here's the new home page:

@NSilbiger There are a couple of free and low cost apps out there. Here are some listed. https://t.co/egBv590UVg. Google transcribe is also a good one if you want the info down as a transcript.

@KStackWhitney Whooo! Another one joins the club! It is a fun one!! So glad to see the person getting into their top choice! If the person needs anything, feel free to reach out to me!

Happy National STEM Day! We want to celebrate this day by doing ASL storytelling about our research — using only the numbers 1-5. We also want to see your 1-5 stories explaining your job or STEM-related topics! Be creative! Go wild! :) #STEMinASL

[Dr. Emily Fairfax @EmilyFairfax]

As a scientist I've had an "elevator speech" prepared for a few years now.

This year I made an "elevator video" & let me tell you: people enjoy seeing my research way more than just hearing about it!

So what do #beavers have to do with #wildfire? Watch (with sound) & find out!

[Atomic Hands @AtomicHands]

What do you think about artificial intelligence? Have you ever heard of the Turing Test?

Check out the new #STEMinASL video on YouTube or Facebook!

Guess what...Atomic Hands is now LIVE at https://t.co/TC3k6c4kN1! Check out who is on the STEMist Network and see the first STEM video explaining mosquitos! In two weeks, we'll see Barbara explain a new topic!

Make sure to watch in HD!
