NOTE: This Web site turned 10 on March 4, 2006--quite an oldie by Internet standards. I was the first person I knew to build a website, and I wrote the HTML myself in Notepad by trial and error until it worked. I now use 1st Page for updating the site, which mainly means copying and pasting new material and simple formatting tags. The site has exactly the same "look" as it had in 1996. It's a part of my own history in its form as well as in its content. Like an old New England farmhouse with irregular annexes built on to accommodate new family members, this site has grown organically to accommodate new material and new interests. It's sprawly and hospitable. It isn't sleek or streamlined, and it has no toolbars or elaborate navigation aids, but to me its architecture is meaningful and worth preserving.
I have more than 15 years of experience translating medical and biotech materials, including journal articles, SOPs, manuals, research reports, clinical trials, and patents. I am based in Cambridge, Massachusetts. I translate from German into English only:
Medical Translations
I have more than 6 years of experience translating medical (25+), optical (40+), and other patents. My clients include a number of agencies as well as the patent practices of several law firms:
Patent Translations
I also translate 19th- and 20th-century diaries and letters, and material relating to the Holocaust:
Translation of Historical Material
I am particularly interested in translating 19th- and 20th-century correspondences such as immigrant letters, and helping people to place themselves and their families within a historical context. In 2000-2001 I translated 400-450 letters written in the 1880s between Germany and Constantinople. Few translators can even read the old German script, nor can most Germans below a certain age. The link below will provide further information about this aspect of my translation:
