Gymnosperms: An Unexpected Contribution to Cancer

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.

    I think one of the main things I like about this piece of work is the presentation of its content in a square format. Most infographics tend to have a rectangular shape, which is consistent with the typical profile of any book page. But a square arrangement of the information seems to work pretty well, also. I like how everything is condensed in a space where the reader can perceive it all at once. The selection of colors and the inclusion of images are well-thought and add incredibly to the overall appearance of the infographic.

    There is so many earthly resources that we don’t consider that can contribute to a human greatly . I really enjoyed reading this article and learning how Gymnosperms can help with cancer since researchers for a long time have been looking for a cure that they can start instantly. Very well write article!

    Nature helps in many ways. At times we don’t even know how helpful and necessary something is. Gymnosperms are something from nature that help with cancer, a disease that is deadly and hurtful. With the possibilities that nature could do for humans it is important to keep our plants, earth, and everything in it safe and accessible to all and to take care for future references.

    This is an excellent infographic on a subject I had never heard of before. The article not only does an excellent job of explaining gymnosperms and how they actively contribute to cancer. Not only is the information useful and well-written, but the infographic’s design, colors, and images effectively convey the infographic’s message.

    this publication is so informative but also is very interesting to read. i find articles like this one the best to read since it is somewhat of a warning to be on the lookout for. I thought it looked neat but also very well put together. Although a lot of words on this publication i didn’t feel like it was overwhelming to read. Great job and congratulations.

    Hello, Hunter! To begin with, congratulations on your publishing. Your infographic piqued my interest because I had no idea Gymnosperms contributed to cancer. It was great to learn more about this subject, and I think you did an excellent job with the infographic. One thing I will say is that I felt it was a little packed, but I understand that these issues demand a lot of expertise to be present. Everything was wonderfully done, including the theme. Congratulations.

    I thought this article was very insightful and did an excellent job of educating me about the link between cancer and gymnosperms, and how these plants contribute to the furthering of advancement in chemotherapy. Further, I thought it was an excellent example of how an infographic should look, and the color scheme and graphics were all very cohesive looking.

  • Abbey Stiffler

    I really loved reading this infographic since it made a hard issue understandable to someone like myself who doesn’t really know a lot about science. We can absolutely overcome the difficulties described in this infographic if we cooperate. I had no idea they could do something like this to cause cancer. Overall, reading through this infographic was made easier by the fantastic photos and fantastic colors you used.

    Hunter! The infographic looks beautiful! I love the way you organized and designed it, with it being so easy to follow and explaining everything so clearly! I never knew gymnosperms could help with treatment for breast cancer. That is so incredible to be able to learn. In addition, I also really liked the “Key Vocab” section, it helped me learn so much!
