French to English: Le Dévonien ou « l’âge d’or » de l’évolution des plantes. General field: Science Detailed field: Botany
Source text - French Les plus anciens microfossiles eucaryotes trouvés datent de 1,8 à 1,4 milliard d’années et les eucaryotes multicellulaires de 1,2 milliard d’années. Cette diversification conduit à l’explosion cambrienne où la vie animale remplit les mers. Un événement, beaucoup moins connu mais tout aussi important, est l’émergence de la vie sur la Terre, à l’Ordovicien, puis son développement au Silurien et surtout au cours du Dévonien. Les plantes représentent alors les acteurs les plus importants ; la plupart des innovations concernant les plantes primitives se mettent en place durant les 50 millions d’années environ que dure le Dévonien.

Translation - English The oldest eukaryotic microfossils ever found date from 1.8 billion years ago to 1.4 billion years ago, and 1.2 billion years ago for multicellular eukaryotes. Their diversification lead to the Cambrian explosion, a time where the seas teemed with animal life. A much less well-known, but equally important, development was the emergence of life on land during the Ordovician, and its subsequent development during the Silurian, and in particular during the Devonian. Plants are therefore one of the most important players, as most innovations concerning primitive plants occurred during the roughly 50 million year time span of the Devonian.
French to English: Loxodromie. General field: Science
Source text - French De plus, la différence de longueur entre la loxodromie et la géodésique s'accentue à mesure que la distance entre les deux points s'accroît, en particulier aux latitudes élevées. Pour de courts trajets ou pour des directions proches des axes nord-sud ou est-ouest, l'écart demeure modeste, ce qui justifie que certaines routes aériennes ou maritimes adoptent la loxodromie pour leur simplicité. En revanche, pour des trajets transocéaniques ou intercontinentaux de grande étendue, le choix optimal est en général la géodésique, les outils de navigation modernes rendant ce type de route plus facilement praticable qu'auparavant.

Translation - English Furthermore, the difference in length between a rhumb line and a geodesic increases as the distance between two points increases, especially at high latitudes. For short routes, or routes whose direction is nearly parallel to the North-South or East-West axis, the difference is small, and this justifies the use of rhumb lines for their simplicity on some aerial and maritime routes. On the other hand, for long transoceanic or intercontinental journeys, the optimal choice is generally a geodesic as modern navigation tools make this type of route more practical than ever to achieve.

I translation from French to English, and Jamaican Patois to English. My preferred texts are biology or geology texts, specifically ecology, evolution, botany, comparative vertebrate anatomy, or public-facing math and physics material. I also, however, translate genre fiction.
Background
I have a B.Sc. in evolutionary biology and have worked in a physics lab as an intern. Due to this and experience from my research-based hobbies, learning on-the-go and picking up terminology is no problem. In particular, I would be happy to translate texts based on biology (evolutionary biology, zoology, ecology), or material, such as science communication, with physics and math terminology.
I am a Caribbean national, and I have studied in the United States for ten years, and so I am familiar with United States English, as well as Patois and a Caribbean form of Standard English.
I also translated an 800 word chapter of a middle-school book into the constructed language Toki Pona, made by Sonja Lang, the first paragraph of which can be seen here (in Sitelen Pona script).
