First of all I would like to congratulate all of my friends and peers from General Biology Two, Section D for publishing their articles. The effort and time put into such well designed infographics should be applauded and recognized. I hope you are all proud.
Secondly I would like to honor Dr. Terry Shackleford for her persistent editing and active engagement throughout the research project. She made the research project feel less like an assignment and more like a self accomplishment.
I would also like to sincerely thank my close friends and family for their endless support and encouragement throughout this time in my life.
Lastly, I would like to honor both Dr. Terry Shackleford and Dr. Bradford Whitener for presenting me with such an opportunity, this would not have been possible without the two of you and your support. Thank you so much.

The display of this infographic was great I loved the color used, the icons, spacing were tight and packed with information, and a bit hard to follow along, but the information is there along with the proper sources. It would be easier to follow along if the infographic didn’t use as many paragraphs and more statistics or important statements tied to icons to make it simpler and easier to read and understand.

The Advantage of presenting information in this format is immense. In the perspective of a political science student who mostly deals with information in a different lens I am surprisingly still able to comprehend the work very clear. Though I would like to say that they leave a lot out while the information is clear to be understood what is there, there seems to be a lot missing. Is this a cancer treatment or causer? why is it causing cancer? What are the recommended action that this poster wants me to do. Though I feel like the format what the information is in is already perfect. I just need more info!

Hello! I really enjoyed this infographic, it had a lot of information and it was easy to read. I loved the colors you used and the pictures, it really tied into what you were trying to inform us about. I also liked how you put vocab words, I have never heard of Gymnosperms, so it was interesting to read how they can help many people who are suffering from cancer. Overall, great job!

I really like so many things about this infographic. First is how well the information flowed off the page. I started from the title and the organization made it easy to follow section to section. This paired with the small plant graphics and green color to match the nature theme made it very enjoyable. Next I really appreciated the basic understanding of Gymnosperms that you included before you moved the focus to Paclitaxel. The evolution, vocab, and adaptations sections felt like a proper introduction to the healing gymnosperms.

An interesting thing about the topic of gymnosperms is the fact that they are found mostly in trees. With their ability to reproduce by spreading their seeds. But it is highly depended on elements such as wind and water erosion to get their seeds to be spread. With this is it highly normal for trees to grow things like pine or pine cones and some even flowers. To make it easier for their seeds to spread throughout different areas as it works through the environment.

This is a very informative infograographic Hunter! Before reading this, I had no idea what gymnosperms were. Thank you for including a section with key terms! Definitely helped me understand more about what you were trying to inform us about. I did not know that nature can be used to help us humans with diseases such as cancer, especially pine trees!

I have never heard of gymnosperms and had absolutely no idea they help contribute to the treatment of cancer. Now I know Pine trees, spruce trees, and pacific yew are a part of the gymnosperms group. Can barely understand the infographic due to all the botanic terms, but it is crazy how pine trees help treat breast cancer patients, and hopefully in the near future, we have a cure for cancer.

I like stories like this one because it serves as a cautionary note. It was both stylish and well-put-together in my opinion. I appreciate that these challenges need a high degree of education, therefore having all of this material was quite valuable. There are countless earthly resources that we are unaware of that can greatly assist mankind that don’t have to envolve technology or any sort of negative thing.

Hi Hunter! I am genuinely impressed by how much information you were able to fit into your infographic. I learned so much about Gymnosperms and cancer and their relationship. The publication is both informative and engaging, making it a great read. I was also impressed by the layout and color scheme. Thank you for this publication.

This publication is informative and engaging, making it an excellent read. It serves as a warning to be vigilant, which I appreciate. The overall presentation is neat and well-organized, despite having a lot of text. I didn’t find it overwhelming to read at all. Overall, great job and congratulations on a well-executed piece!
