Izuku Midoriya is the quiet, invisible academic no one notices. Katsuki Bakugou is the confident jock who’s been secretly watching him for years. When Izuku realizes Katsuki is deaf and starts learning sign language to talk to him, something begins — small and quiet and impossible to ignore.

One thing that I have wondered ever since I was young, though: do deaf biologists have to fingerspell animals’ scientific names? I know asl doesn’t have widely recognized signs for some more specific things (like, you have common signs for “bird,” “goose,” “chicken,” but not “canary”) and I assume that’s similar in other sign languages, but I imagine a deaf insect biologist fingerspelling “armadillidium granulatam” when talking about roly polys would get incredibly annoyed after their second or third time.

So, is there a widely-known-but-only-in-the-deaf-biologist-community set of signed scientific names? Are there ever enough deaf biologists working together for this to come up? If there aren’t, what do deaf biologists do? If you don’t speak the name aloud, do you really have to fingerspell it or write it down or finagle a bunch of common signs together until you get your point across each time?

If there is a set of signed scientific names, do they vary from sign language to sign language, or are they used by all deaf biologists, like how all hearing scientists around the world all use the same Latin names?

This same question applies to deaf chemists with chemical formulas & deaf geologists with specific rock names and literally any deaf scientist in any science field.

whew okay!! these took awhile to gain motivation for but >:)

Disclaimer I’m not an expert in jsl or signed Japanese, not even like a beginner, this is what I’ve learned from others and such so please take this with a grain of salt!

Kohei: “thanks for watching”

Taichi: “see you later”

Also “peace”

that’s hard to answer for three reasons

I started learning passively in middle school with just the alphabets first, then stopped for a long time

You’ve never really “learned” a language that isn’t native to you, I think. You’re always still learning, even if it’s just about local differences and slang! I became conversational after probably my first 6 months in Japan, but really just I’d call it survival Japanese. I couldn’t have deep convos with anyone.

I live in Japan which makes it sooo much easier than someone not living around the language
