3rd Workshop of 2023 Global Year of STEM Signs
There are many STEM sign lexicons worldwide based on different sign languages. Over the year, we will celebrate this work and discuss the future of STEM sign language lexicons and their impact on STEM education and careers. A series of six events that provide those us working in this field with opportunities to come together. […]
Franly Ulerio-Nunez
I’m Afro-Latino, a biochemist, and an activist. My 10+ years of experience in team leadership at different organizations took place from community to employer. My leadership model was cultivated with the support of my multi-intersectional groups throughout a series of small discussions. I made several accomplishments in the laboratory. I trained staff and faculty in the culture of laboratory safety at the academic institution for 3 years. I won a runner-up award for the NAD Youth Ambassador Program in July 2018. My idea focuses on delivering STEM materials to non-STEM audiences via entertainment content.
Carly Leannah
Coming from a background in d/Deaf education, I am currently a PhD candidate in educational neuroscience studying how sign language knowledge affects visuospatial processing and embodied cognition. My current projects focus on understanding the cognitive and behavioral impacts of emerging educational technology on the learning process.
STEM Sign Language Lexicon Workshop
A showcase of STEM sign language lexicon from around the world. This is the first of several events celebrating the 2023 Global Year of STEM Sign Language Lexicons.
Jemima Chong
I am currently in the first year of Master of Biological Sciences and had the Bachelor of Recreation and Park Administration from Eastern Kentucky University. I have an opportunity to develop a project that focus on DHH/DB accessibility in outdoors and education.

When Work is not Work: Interpreting Technical ASL
Light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation. If this expansion of “laser” seems impossible to interpret elegantly into American Sign Language (ASL), then this workshop is for you! Join us in undertaking a holistic exploration of interpreting in technical contexts, beginning with a group discussion of the challenges inherent in such work so that participants […]
Tom Rice
Dr. Tom Rice is an astronomer and educator who currently works as an Education and Mentoring Specialist for the American Astronomical Society, the largest professional society of astronomers and astrophysicists in North America. Dr. Rice previously taught and researched at Columbia University as a Science Fellow. A first-generation college student at Harvard University (2008-2012), he received his Ph.D. in astronomy in 2019 from the University of Michigan. He grew up in a Deaf, ASL speaking family in Oregon City, Oregon.
Alicia Wooten
I am focused on studying the innate immune response in the lungs when exposed to Streptococcus pneumoniae. By looking at how we can better understand the host-pathogen response, it will allow for increased treatment to bacterial pneumonia.
Barbara Spiecker
I conduct quantitative modeling of intertidal and subtidal macroalgae ecosystems to better understand the complexity of scale and pattern in these ecosystems and how the patterns may alter in response to climate change. I teach undergraduate courses and labs in biology, ecology, and data science. I am also very involved in developing STEM-specific educational resources in American […]
