Thanks Nora Díaz for the information on text expansion programs. These sound much easier than the programmable keypad I used to use for this purpose.

54k words...first draft done!😏 These giant jobs are both a blessing and a real challenge.

Really excited about some new tools and features from Jonny Perl Jonny @ DNA Painter introduced at #ecGGc Fantastic!

#ecGGc Paul A. Maier, PhD. presentation on mitochondrial DNA, population biology and human evolution brings me back to my undergrad days at UCSC studying conservation biology. He really breaks it down and puts it into context clearly.

#Trados users, please tell me why I should upgrade from 2021 to 2022? I am super reluctant to keep shelling out the $$ year after year after year after year.

Association of Professional #Genealogists 2022 Professional Management Conference has begun! Thought provoking opening talk by David E. Rencher, AG®, CG®, FUGA, FIGRS underway. Who else is attending #APGPMC ?

Apparently not all translation companies can afford experienced translators. But you have to wonder if their poor quality products may be exactly why they can't afford them. 🤔

Missed #ATA63 but I've been following it here, which has me already excited and planning for #ATA64 in Miami next year!

Attending the International Symposium On Human Identification this week. Learning more about how #genealogy techniques can help solve crimes, find missing persons and identify remains from wars, disasters and more. Fascinating! #ISHI33

After 4 days at #ISHI33 I come home to #forensic #DNA lab reports to translate. Serendipity!

Is there anyone attending @RootsSummit2023 who would like to share lodging?

Just finished my first week in the course Fundamentals of Forensic Genealogy offered by Catherine Desmarais and the Salt Lake Institute of Genealogy Academy for Professionals 2023. I've learned some key info already and I'm excited for the coming 8 weeks! #SLIGAcademy2023

I'm definitely going to try using these in my writing. #genealogy #familyhistory #translatinghistory 14 Colonial-Era Slang Terms to Work Into Modern Conversation getpocket.com/explore/item/1… via Eren Alpaslan

Missing #RootsTech2023 because I am going to untanglingourroots.org @RootsSummit2023 at the end of the month. Who else is going?!

This weekend’s #APhA2023 is the perfect opportunity for American Pharmacists Association to publicly reaffirm that medication abortion is essential, and safe. #TwitterRX d.shpg.org/797359163t

Packing for @RootsSummit2023 while listening to this week's Salt Lake Institute courses a 2nd time. Feeling lucky I have this week off from my Applied Genealogy Institute course, and I'm caught up on translation work! #geneticgenealogy #adopteerights #translatorslife #roadtrip

I vouch for LSP.expert 100%. It has allowed me to scale up, while staying organized and on track, without having to resort to more complex systems that are just more than I need. I don't know what I'd do without it!

Translating a transcription done by AI. Not sure whether to laugh or cry. It's SO BAD.

#TIGR2023 Excited to be starting a week-long course: Researching Families of Mexican Descent on Both Sides of the Border. Just watched a pre-course presentation by Colleen Robledo Greene that was intriguing and engaging. I'm ready for more! Colleen Robledo Greene
