Paul Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 So I have a presentation due tomorrow, not long just 5 slides and about 5 minutes of talking. It is for Biology 2107 here is the rubric: Science News Presentation: I expect that most of you will become professional biologists of some sort or another. As such, one of the most important things you will do in your life is to explain science to the non-scientific public around you (your friends, family etc). To get you started on this, I want to see you present a news item covered in the popular press AND relate it back to the original research article that it is about. Your goal is to explain it as though your audience of intelligent persons with no specialized knowledge of biology. You will be required to put together a short presentation on a science topic covered in the news. By short, I mean 5 power point slides (or equivalent) and 7 minutes maximu.. I will randomly assign the day on which you will present. Requirements: • Must relate to “a lecture topic” from class, first slide must state what that topic is (what chapter in the book, or what figure, explicitly state the link) • Can not be about a human disease • Contains pertinent information from a popular news article (and any needed introduction) • Multiple sources must be cited for your research • The original scientific study MUST be from a peer reviewed journal • 1 slide contains the ABSTRACT FROM THE ORIGINAL SCIENTIFIC STUDY • Maximum points will be given to those presentations in which students find or note differences between the primary research abstract (or full text) & the popular news article (see below) • 5 slides (or equivalent) and 7 minutes maximum presentation time. So with that being said, does anybody have ANY ideas what I should do it on? Anything that doesn't relate to a human disease that you guys are interested in that has been in the news lately?
