Asma Wahid is one of the very few Deaf people with expertise in chemistry (as a Ph.D. student in an organic chemistry lab) AND in the field of ASL translation. She has previously worked as a translator and a team leader in an organic chemistry sign language lexicon (featured in ASLCORE), which has won an award from the UK-based Royal Society of Chemistry. Now, she recognizes the importance of training educational (and healthcare) interpreters to provide clear & apporprate intepretation of chemistry concepts. She has decided to share her expertise with YOU!
