Video of Plastics

This is a cute animated version of what we learned about involving plastics and how it becomes microplastics that end up affect organisms in the ocean.

Ebola Explained

When I had was walking around the room looking at the different posters I had originally wanted to look at a fellow Brooklyn College student’s poster, but the “Ebola Explained” poster lured me in the moment I was near. This poster was right next to the poster I was looking at and a student who was presenting the poster immediately began to make a pitch towards me so I would be willing to vote for their poster.

I honestly believe that these students had one of the best pitches, since they lured me in with a simple joke about ebola. The student presenting made the poster very entertaining by starting off with the story of Tim, a man who had gotten ebola.

He even referenced over to the Measles poster while they presented about ebola, which I thought was pretty funny, since it was as if they were trying to sell me on another project that I should have taken a look at.

The majority of their poster had consisted of diagrams and photos to go along with the facts of ebola. They had mainly explained the what the different diagrams meant and how it related to ebola, which showed how knowledgable they were about their poster. They were also able to answer questions I had about their images and since the student was so lively about his project I really enjoyed hearing and learning about his poster.

Although they did not do actual hands on research like most of the other posters, the students were very dedicated about the poster they had done and wanted student’s to know that ebola is something people shouldn’t be worrying about due to its unlikeliness of spreading, and since vaccines are in the making and seem to be effective so far.
