Hi everyone,

I know that I recommended to you all to use easel.ly to make infographics, but I’ve just found out that unfortunately, they changed the pay structure within the last year or so and now it’s basically un-usable at the free level. I am very sorry to anyone who did work using this website already.

For infographics, I now recommend that you use Canva, and I have done a lot of work with this app in the past and would be happy to show you more about it once I get back on Monday.

Hi all,

The aspirin lab is now uploaded, please review prior to class tomorrow which meets in room 825 at 17 Lexington. The entrance is on 23rd st., and give yourself plenty of time to get upstairs since the elevators can be crowded.

The two big projects we’re currently working on have their main pages updated, for BioBlitz and 3D Printing.

On the 3D printing page, you’ll see directions for turning in your 3D printing design both by emailing your TinkerCAD file to makerhub@baruch.cuny.edu and also submitting a PDF of the design to the website using the form.

On the BioBlitz page, you’ll see a list of tips for writing the various sections of your final report. Please read these carefully, it will give you all you need to know about what goes in each section and how it should look. If you have any questions, please email Jake and Dr. Greer. There is a form for submitting your final report, which is due Monday.

We will also email you comments on your data analysis and findings so you have something to work on as a revision before Monday.

Hi class,

Please submit your BioBlitz annotated bibliographies using the category “Bibliography.” If you already submitted this, you can go back in and edit your post to update the category. Please submit one post per group – indicate your group members in the title and I’ll update the authorship.

Hi everyone,

For tomorrow, please submit an idea for your 3D-printed Healthcare Innovation, using the form below (make sure you are logged into ePortfolios first). Everyone in class should submit their own idea, and then your group will choose from the submitted ideas.

Also, please go to your profile (upper right corner of ePortfolios page where it says “Howdy, [your name]” and set your “Display Name As” to your name, either your full name or just your first name. This is the only way we can give you credit for completing this portion of the assignment.

On the BioBlitz Research Project page you’ll now see the worksheet that is due Wednesday, October 10. Each group should complete one worksheet, so just choose a single person from your group to submit this.
