Describe very briefly the article "DNA of 'an entire nation' assessed" By James Gallagher.
This should be a critique/reflection - do you agree with points made in the article? What additional questions do you have?
· How does your reflection relate directly to our course - add citations to course readings or lecture dates
· A couple of paragraphs to a page
· Post your write-up and comments on the Blog page on Blackboard
Presentation
· You will present one article in a group of 3-4 people on the Thursday on which you signed up (on the Wiki page on blackboard). You will have 15 minutes total to present.
· By the Monday before your group presentation, each member of a group should have submitted a potential article and as a group you should come to consensus on which article you will present. You will send a link to Dr. Giordano before midnight on the Tuesday before your presentation so that I can send it out to the class.
· Your group will present the article by having a conversation with each other about the following:
o What is the main point of the article?
o What are the most interesting points of the article?
o How is it related to our class? (be specific)
o How is it relevant to a general public audience?
o What impact might the findings and/or reporting have on "society"?
o What questions do you have for the scientists and/or the reporter - for example, about how the study was conducted, why the study was conducted or how the study was reported? If it is not about a study, adjust the questions to match the kind of story it is.
