Many in the Deaf STEM community are creating new conceptually accurate signs for STEM subjects. But for math a lot of new signs I see are based on notation and symbols, not actual meaning. This can make teaching easier, but is it true conceptual accuracy?

So there's a particular quirk of English grammar that I've always found quite endearing: the exocentric verb-noun compound agent noun. It appears in a definite, remarkably narrow period - not more than 150, 200 years - before dying out, leaving loads of legacy words in its wake.

It’s day 2 of the #STEMsignlexiCON workshop at Gallaudet Bison. STAMPGallaudet faculty are hosting the first ever workshop for founders and leaders of STEM sign lexicons. International participants are here to discuss ethics, linguistics, k-12 assessments, and sustainability!

Had a fantastic time at the STEM Sign Language Lexicon Founders and Leaders workshop at Gallaudet University these past two days - great to meet so many experts from around the country and the world and discuss the tough questions.

My sustainability class just finished a module about disinformation. I had them write me a letter assuming they were flunking and arguing that they deserve an A, using the techniques of disinformation we discussed, like cherry picking, false experts and ad hominem. HOO-boy. 1/n

Feeling so grateful for the opp to organize this #stemsignslexicon conference with Caroline Solomon and Christopher Hayes. Lots of amazing discussions on STEM sign language and the ethics, sustainability, and assessment tools. Working groups are being created to continue this collab!
