Hi everyone,

The lab report presentation I gave yesterday is now up on the website here, or go to “In-class Presentations”>”Tutorials” in the menu above.

As a reminder, please upload your poster draft ASAP to the website, and especially please comment on others’. As of now, there are only three posters up. Ideally you should have incorporated some of the revisions that were suggested during your in-class share, and so we are now commenting on a new version. Please attend to this ASAP  and comment on other people’s posters so that groups have time over the next few days to do more revisions before Monday. It will be unfair if you get lots of good constructive feedback on your poster without leaving any for anyone else, so be a good colleague. On Monday, you’ll be doing a final run-through of your 10-minute presentation before the “final version” that will be presented on the Monday after Thanksgiving.

Hi class, just to clarify, please upload your BioBlitz Report into the form on this page, not as a separate post.

Dear Students,

Please submit your BioBlitz report online under Assignments/BioBlitz  Biodiversity Report (due 11/6).

Tomorrow, the class begin with the last PMMOP. Than, the MakerHub team will help you refine your 3D printing ideas. Please have your ideas ready . With some luck we might be submitting your design for printing tomorrow. We will also discuss how to design your poster.

Thank you and see you all tomorrow! Dr. Greer

Dear Students,

The due date for submitting your 3D printing design to MakerHub is Nov. 9th. Please submit ASAP to allow for correction of potential issues with the design.

If you e-mail MakerHub quickly you may be able to schedule a time in person for help, but it is already late for them to help you with fundamentals.

Thank you, Dr. Greer

Dear Students,

Today MakerHub team is hosting the 2nd and FINAL MakerHub popup event. It starts at 12:20 PM in NVC 2-140. Please visit the MakerHub team for help with your design and ask them to print the current “version” of it to see how it looks before they get busy with printing projects for other classes.

Thank you and see you tomorrow, Dr. Greer

Dear Students,

The first 30 minutes of the class tomorrow will be designated to the poster tutorial. The rest of the class will be devoted to PMMOPs. The presentations will be continued next week and on 11/6. Please, be prepared to present tomorrow.

Please, remember that your presentation needs to show: (a) a picture of organism, (b) the origin of the organism, (c) show which part(s) of the organism is most active, (d) identify the molecule causing biological activity, (e) medical value, (f) mechanism of action, (g) side effects, and (h) drugs/therapies that derive from the organism and are commercially available.

You will be graded based on how well you addressed topics (a) – (h) mentioned above.

Thank you and see you tomorrow. Regards, Dr. Greer

Dear Students,

The MakerHub team has offered assistance with design and 3D printing of your designs. Please see dates when the team is available to help. The second document provided by the team summarizes how to share files in tinkerCad.

Happy 3D printing! Dr. Greer

Dear Students,

For Wednesday 10/18:

Create a blog post using the category “PMMOP” with a picture of the organism embedded, with its title as the Latin name of your species, and a short paragraph that indicates its common name, its place of origin, and the molecule that has the specific biological/medicinal effect. Write this paragraph in prose.

Please, see this page for more information.

Thank you, Dr. Greer

Dear Students,

I hope you all had a chance to fill out the form for the poster idea.

In addition, tomorrow, we are set to discuss data from your BioBlitz. Please, download the excel data sheet on your laptop computer using the following link below and bring it on your computer to the class. Thank you, Dr. Greer
