Dear readers, my name is Patrick Weill, or Pat for short. I am
delighted to have been accepted as a new blog editor and I am at your service
for anything you may wish to publish here on our division’s blog. If you are
not a native English speaker, that is more than ok; it would be a very welcome
and valuable contribution if you were to send me your text, and I can help with
English editing if you want and/or need that.
I am just barely settling down after a big trip to my home country
and region (I am originally from northern California, Sacramento to be exact)
for my first ATA conference. It was a wonderful experience for me and I enjoyed
meeting many new people and especially being involved in the Science and
Technology Division’s activities. After the conference, I traveled up the
California coast about 60 miles, to a very small costal town named Bodega Bay.
The northern California coast is thought of as too cold by many, but it is
precisely this difference between the northern coast and the more well-known
beaches of sunny southern California that has kept away the crowds and the
problems associated therewith. This beautiful territory is still basically
virgin beachfront land for hundreds of miles and the weather is not that bad.
More or less it is the same as San Francisco weather. The water IS too cold for
swimming, without a wetsuit anyway, and there are some good waves in this area
if you are a surfer.
I translate from Spanish to English, mostly medical and scientific
right now, and I also offer the reverse pair, through my contacts here in
Mexico. I edit that work myself. I have been in Mexico for 11 years now and it
looks like I am here to stay for the foreseeable future. As I alluded to above,
I am here to help you and our division, so please contact me at pbw@weillandassociates.com if I
can be of service to you in any way.
