Deaf patients often don’t receive interpreters in healthcare settings.
@MichLitch, from @UUtah, and Tamiko Rafeek join us to talk about why there’s a lack of interpreters in the US and how healthcare systems can better care for patients.

A new PhD started today. She asked for general advice for the first few months. This was my advice:
1. Don’t work evenings or weekends
2. Don’t aim to prove yourself (to me), I’m already convinced of your capacities
3. Go for a walk when things dazzle you (1/3)

Deaf citizen scientists pointed out regional ASL differences, plus a need for multiple ways to sign insulin delivery, for example, so @MichLitch and team created an ASL glossary of diabetes terms.

If you're deaf or hard of hearing and use a stethoscope, please take this survey by the top guru of amplified stethscopes, Dr. Sam Atcherson, PhD. Would go a long way to improving their use. Pic from @amphltweets website.
