DUE Friday, November 9, by 8pm.

We would like you to compose an informal blog post of around 200 words reflecting on the experience of working in the lab (synthesis of Aspirin). Especially consider how anything we have discussed this semester (scientific method, data analysis, media science literacy, experimental design, scientific uncertainty, drug development) or done (BioBlitz, 3D printing) might have impacted your thinking about this lab experience.

This is an intentionally reflective essay, so feel free to use first person.

This assignment is graded on a “check” system: if you complete the assignment on time and put in the effort, you get full credit (2% of your total grade). Be sure to check the category “Blog Entry 2” or you will not receive credit.

Informal writing means you should still take the time to re-read your writing and check for clarity as well as errors. However, you should feel free to adopt a reflective, casual, exploratory tone in your entry. Assume that the general public is your audience.
