Lit Review Ideas

I think for the literary review I’d like to focus on the neglect of patient care for people in mental institutions (psychiatric facilities). Something that I already know about this topic is that there aren’t enough workers and psychiatric professionals in the field causing them to prioritize some patients while not giving other patients the attention they need.  Another portrayal of neglect is evident considering that suicide rates are higher for people who recently leave mental health facilities from being discharged too early (lack of resources and availability). In my research, I’d like to learn about the disparities amongst different races when it comes to mental health ( more specifically the statistics about people from different races who are admitted to these facilities and what exactly is the standard of care they are receiving). I’d also like to learn about strategies or ideas implemented to combat the neglect and disparities seen in patient care. 

Peer Presentation Feedback

Group 3 – Stefania, Zitlaly, Paola, Cinthya 

1.) FAK is important for cell organization.

2.) Something they did well was summarizing the importance of FAK and how it relates to our health and what scientists can do with it. 

 3.) Even with the group being high school biology students, I still feel like it could’ve been simplified a bit more

4.) I thought the slides themselves look pretty

Group 5 –  Ayesha, Joseph, Katherine, Folake, Anallely 

1.) Transcription Factors speed up the copying and pasting of DNA onto the mRNA

2.) I loved the analogies used throughout the entirety of the presentation, they helped to really clarify the topic 

3.) Sometimes they get lost in the details that were just too complicated and complex for the targeted group 

4.) I thought the slides look nice and the presentation was very organized

Group 1 – Anay, Benjamin, Obi, Michelle, Jenin 

1.) pHPMA is self – assembling and versatile

2.) I think they did perfectly at explaining everything especially to who their targeted audience is

3.) I don’t have anything I think they need to really improve, maybe they can speak a bit slower

4.) I loved the energy from everyone in the group. They made the topic interesting. 

Group 6 – Nafisha, Leondra, Athea, Jimmy, Yasmine

1.) The mind is a combination of open-ended theories and solutions 

2.) I think they also did a great job at providing the information in an understandable way to their target group 

3.) Sometimes it felt like they said the same thing a couple of times

4.) The topic itself is interesting and I think the presentation honed in on that and kept me intrigued. 

Group 4 – Chanda, Lois, Ana, Ifa, Michelle 

1.) Holism is the belief that everything is connected: mental, ecological language, and more are connected and should be connected in science 

2.) They provided a lot of information in their slides and they explained this information well 

3.) I think the language was a bit too complex for the targeted audience and I would probably simplify and clarify the language more to them. 

4.) The slides looked pretty and their topic was interesting

Science in the Movies Presentation

Group 5 – Ayesha, Joseph, Folake, Anallely, Katherine

1. One thing I learned about was a polar vortex. The polar vortex describes what happened in Texas, where a wave of cold that moved a cloud of cold far into the South due to global warming. 
2. The group explained the story well, and described how it was influenced by global warming in real life. 
3. Maybe talk a bit slower 
4. I really liked how they addressed that the movie shows an alternate reality where instead of global warming there is global freezing. It makes everyone think about climate change. 

Group 4 – Ana, Ifa, Michelle, Chanda, Lois

1.  Many people believe that artificial intelligence can take over the world 
2. The group had a lot of good imagery 
3. Be a bit more descriptive about the movie 
4. I like that they clarified that technology isn’t bad but that the people who use technology are bad. 

Group 1 – Michelle, Ben, Anay, Jenin

1. A present day wall – e is the roomba which is a robot that vacuums your home 
2. They did a great job at comparing the past with the future from Wall – E
3. Maybe organize the presentation better 
4. I like the facts that they brought in from the present world such as bone structure decaying due to microgravity 

Group 6 – Nafisha, Leondra, Athea, Jimmy, Yasmine

1. The machine guns predicted in the movie are very closely related to our modern machine and weaponry. 
2. They did a good job breaking down the presentation
3. They seem a bit unorganized 
4. I like their final conclusions about the movie and connected in to our modern world. 

Group 3 – Cinthya, Obinna, Paola, Zitlaly

1. When things are moving really fast they could look slow
