RIT/NTID’s Deaf in STEM Conference
RIT/NTID is excited to announce our Deaf in STEM Conference, a conference focused on deaf and hard-of-hearing experiences in STEM employment. This Deaf in STEM conference aims to bridge the gap between deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals and professional and educational development in the working world. With a strong focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion, this student-led […]
Alexander Lin
I am a 3rd-year Chemistry PhD candidate at UT Austin in Prof. Brian Belardi’s lab (located in the McKetta Department of Chemical Engineering). In my research, I am currently trying to engineer bio-like adhesions into minimal synthetic cells in order to construct synthetic tissue.
Atoms
Teach big concepts to little kids! Learn about some of the most fundamental concepts in science BEFORE the social pressure and intimidation of formal schooling.
Atoms are the essential building blocks for everything in the universe. From the water you drink, to the hair on your head, and the book in your hands — they’re all made out of the exact same atoms!
You’ll learn about the structure of an atom; protons, neutrons, and electrons; charge and mass properties; molecules and compounds; covalent and ionic bonds; the periodic table; and so much more. Basic Chemistry has never been such fun!

Alina Kenina
Currently, I am working as a Postbaccalaureate Fellow at the National Cancer Institute (NCI). In this role, I am actively engaged in conducting research focused on investigating the roles of specific genes, particularly those associated with stress responses. My work involves engaging in tissue culture work, performing molecular analyses, and utilizing advanced techniques. The ultimate goal of my research is to contribute to a deeper understanding of the underlying molecular mechanisms driving cancer progression.
Through my contributions at NCI, I am gaining valuable experience in experimental design, data collection, analysis, and collaborating with researchers. I am confident that this experience will establish a strong foundation as I aspire to pursue advanced studies in cancer biology.

I am currently working on research in Captioning for Deaf viewers for my Masters thesis. I also do the other work/research in captioning tech.
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. […]
