Deaf Scientists

Drs. Harry Lang and Bonnie Meath-Lang donated research from their book, Deaf Persons in the Arts and Sciences, to RIT/NTID Deaf Studies, Culture & History Archive. You will find articles about noted scientists. If interested in exploring this collection, make an appointment with the archivists using their contact page. The RIT Archives is located in the Wallace Library Building (5).

Other names are from Dr. Jessica Cuculick, from Dr. Harry Lang's other book, Silence of the Spheres, and our networks (for more current scientists). Some individuals have a Ph.D, M.D., O.D., D.V.M.,  have honorary doctorates, or are post-doctoral scholars. If you need more information about careers in the sciences or social sciences, use the Occupational Outlook Handbook.
