The title of your infographic caught my attention immediately because you mentioned Parkinson’s disease which I am somewhat familiar with. I really like how you gave us some background information about Parkinson’s disease and showed us how the Golgi apparatus is directly linked to the condition. The colors and all of the images that are shown in the infographic are useful and well placed. I learned a lot more about the Golgi apparatus and its association with Parkinson’s disease than I previously knew after reading your infographic. Overall, great job!

Hello Gabriella and Joshua, as someone who is not very familiar with Parkinson’s at all, this infographic is great. At first it seemed quite busy but as I read along, all the information was necessary and I was able to follow along. I learned through this infographic that there is nothing specific that causes or stops this disease from progressing, thank you for laying out this information for others to learn.

It would probably be better to show the process through which dopamine receptors are stalled when LRRK2 is inactivated. It took me a minute to visualize the process myself. It might just be me though. I always thought Parkinson’s was a genetic disorder; I never thought it has to do with a hormone deficiency. Great job to the co-authors. Insightful!

I really liked that this infographic not only uses vibrant colors that are still easy on the eyes, but also use a clear structure with clearly guided section so the reader knows what to look at next. I found the pictures very informative and the infographic shows early signs and symptoms which could help someone and it spreads awareness about Parkinson’s disease.

I really loved this infographic! The colors you used worked very well together and I love how informative it was. I also liked the image of the Golgi apparatus and the diagram of the brain. I’ve heard of Parkinson’s disease but I never knew the cause for my Parkinson’s happens, so that was interesting to learn about, overall awesome job!

Super interesting infographic. I think it is so important to emphasize on cell production and how things so small can cause a large effect on life. Parkison’s disease is a very unfortunate thing which is highly uncontrollable. Mobility is a large role on the world and how people and just life itself is able to strive in society. I think it is extremely sad to see how it could just be taken away so quickly from people due to natural things in our body.
