Hey Lindsey! I like the way you decided to organize this infographic, it’s very simple which gives the reader an easy way to follow. Covid is almost the perfect topic and knowing more on how much of an important role bioinformatics played during Covid-19 pandemic was interesting. After reading this, it really made me want to dive deeper into how bioinformatics with Covid but even how it has helped in other aspects of medicine.

I liked how this infographic explained the role of bioinformatics during COVID-19 in a clear and simple way. It helped me understand how data and DNA analysis were used to study the virus, develop vaccines, and track its spread. The visuals made the information easier to follow, especially the sections on research and vaccines. I also liked how it connected the science to real-world decisions during the pandemic. One small improvement could be less text in some sections, but overall it was very informative and easy to understand.

I really liked this infographic because it explains how bioinformatics played a huge role during COVID-19, even though most people don’t talk about it. Calling it the “silent hero” made a lot of sense and caught my attention right away. I appreciated how it broke down things like vaccine development and data reporting in a clear and simple way. It helped me understand how technology and biology worked together to save lives. One suggestion for improvement would be adding a short timeline or example of how fast bioinformatics helped during the pandemic. Overall, this infographic was informative, well-organized, and made me appreciate science behind the scenes.

I really like how this infographic brings light to something to gets overlooked, which is bioinformatics as the most important behind the scenes factor of pandemic. it reminded me how many important decisions were made like the vaccine rollouts or the policy changes. I really like how this infographic values the data and analysts who were able to shape are understanding of what the the COVID-19 Virus was my only piece of advice I can give is to make the title larger to be able to captivate the reader better nonetheless great infographic!

This infographic on how bioinformatics was a useful tool when the covid pandemic was around caught my attention because I like the format and layout of your information. I did not know the important role and impact bioinformatics had on the event that just occurred less than 5 years ago. A detail I enjoyed was the fact that you added the actual number of deaths the COVID-19 illness caused to start the infographic with a sense of urgency and significance.

I really appreciate this infographic because it clearly shows how bioinformatics shaped the response to Covid-19 in ways that are not always visible to the public. I have thought about the importance of data analysis and genomic sequencing before, but this information helped connect those ideas into a single, coherent picture. It was especially meaningful to see how bioinformatics supported everything from virus identification to vaccine development and ongoing examination. This message reinforces how modern public health depends on careful data driven science and long term planning, not just emergency response.

Great infographic! I had no idea the role that bioinformatics played in addressing the COVID-19 pandemic. It’s super interesting that they were able to find the virus’ origin with these techniques. I would love to learn more about the mentioned research methods to get a better idea of what bioinformatics looks like. It’s great that you’re sharing different methods of research and demonstrating how they make meaningful contributions to society.

Hi Lindsay! I appreciate the smooth transition between topics, as this was very easy to read. I had no idea bioinformatics was so important to Covid-19 and how prevalent it is to today’s research, shout-out to those who risked their lives in a lab every day to save millions of people’s lives! I do think there could have been some more visuals like pictures, but your poster was very insightful, nonetheless.

This infographic provided very clear insight on how different techniques that fell under the umbrella of Bioinformatics contributed to the timeline of creating the COVID vaccine. The step-by-step process template of this infographic allowed for a clear display of the information in relevance to the points on the timeline. The neutral color choices created an easy viewing experience. The concise but informative pieces of information tied everything together and made this infographic a very solid analysis!

Hi Lindsey,
I’m new to the world of bioinformatics and how it plays a vital role in our world, specifically how it is involved in the use of vaccinations so this infographic was extremely informative. The way the information was laid out was easy to understand and visually appealing. I was able to learn that bioinformatics was not only about data collection but how its use aids in the advancement of science to efficiently and effectively protect against viruses. Thank you and great work!
