Hello all

[satsumajin]

Hajimemashite (pleased to meet you) — Satsumajin here. I live in New Zealand, and I'm a freelance Japanese-to-English translator. Some of the translation I do is medical, and that is how I stumbled on Hypography — I was Googling to check the name of a drug (vicomycin), and one of the hits led me to a discussion on the forums about MRSA.

 

I shall probably do more reading and browsing than posting, but I will contribute when I feel I can. IN the meantime, I'm sure I will find my membership worthwhile, and I look forward to getting acquainted.

 

Cheers for now

Welcome to Hypography!

 

Thank you!:)

 

Any particular areas of science that you like?

 

As someone who had very little formal science education, I can't say that there's any area I like "from the inside", as it were (as a practitioner, that is) Over the years I've become interested in the history of science. And the more medical translation I do, the more fascinating I find that area of knowledge.

 

As a translator, I often find myself confronted with projects involving topic areas with which I'm unfamiliar, and I always enjoy the challenge of doing the necessary research. (I had enormous fun some years ago learning about the science involved in the technology of concrete...)

 

Have fun!

 

I'm sure I will

 

Thanks again for such a speedy welcome!!
