Acknowledgements

I would like to acknowledge Dr. Shackleford for her support and detailed feedback on the development of our infographic project. Her expertise in this field and her comments helped shape the quality and depth of our research, motivating us to think beyond surface-level knowledge and really understand the ‘why’ and ‘how’ of our topic. Additionally, I would like to thank my peers and my partner for their cooperation and dedication in helping me organize my thoughts and strengthen the visual parts of my data. Their collaboration made this project very enjoyable and rewarding, which has improved my knowledge of the Sodium-Potassium pump and its functions/dysfunctions. I now better understand how the sodium-potassium pump can be linked to diseases, especially congestive heart failure and familial hemiplegic migraine, which I can apply in the future to strengthen my expertise in medicine. I am very grateful for the opportunity to have research published, and I look forward to publishing more research in the future.
