This is a project done by students, planting flowers early in the year. Information was collected on the flowers growth.

Hello everyone. Please read the instructions carefully.  I will put my professor’s instruction down below : 
“you will summarize a scientific article and associated graph/chart or table showing changing trends, emerging issues or laws related to your bioethics issue. EG, is this increasing or decreasing as a problem? Are solutions on the horizon? Is awareness on the upswing? Is it speading to new groups? New variants? New treatments? New laws? New media coverage? Try to keep to RECENT articles so the info you share is CURRENT!!
make sure your article includes a graph, chart, or table that clearly illustrates the findings of the article. Please describe what the big ticket items are in the graph to demonstrate that you have processed the data therein. This week, embed a screenshot of the front page of the article including the full abstract as well as the graphical into PowerPoint and record a narration of your explanation” 
I have already found an article that I would like to have presented in Powerpoints. 
this is the link to the article :

Introduction
This assignment aims to facilitate an in-depth exploration of a specific microbe and the disease it causes. By conducting independent research into the microbe and its associated disease, you will enhance your comprehension of clinical medicine, diagnostic methodologies, patient-physician dynamics, and the interplay between microbes, hosts, and the environment.
Poster Organization
Your final poster submission will be in digital format on Moodle. The materials will be presented as poster, organized into the following sections:
1. Title On the first slide, include the title, your name, course details, term, course number, department, and university in a banner format.
2. Abstract Summarize the key points of your presentation in a single paragraph. 
3. The Microbe Describe the microbe’s characteristics and biology. Discuss its appearance, environmental distribution, and provide a brief history of its discovery. Highlight essential virulence and pathogenicity mechanisms driving disease progression. 
4. The Disease Detail the disease’s transmission methods, symptomatology, and temporal progression. Identify key distinguishing symptoms and possible differential diagnoses. Highlight any unusual features or sequelae.
5. Epidemiology Explore disease transmission routes, inter-host survival, incidence, prevalence, and any involvement of animal or insect vectors. Investigate its impact on other species.
6. Clinical Identification and Treatment  Examine diagnostic methods, laboratory identification techniques, and relevant tests. Discuss current treatment options and noteworthy clinical aspects.
7. Social Implications and Current Research  Choose one of two options: a) Highlight a Non-Governmental Organization contributing to disease management, providing their website and your insights on their efforts. b) Discuss historical and present-day relevance of the disease, touching on moral or ethical concerns revealed by your research. Also, present a contemporary research direction related to the disease.
8. References  Include at least 5 textual references. Of these, a minimum of three must be from 2018 or later, while the remaining two should be from 2013 or later. At least two references must be substantial research, clinical, or review articles from peer-reviewed journals.
Additional Guidelines:
– Sources beyond your references may be drawn from specified websites such as www.cdc.gov, www.nih.gov, etc., or other relevant books, articles, newspapers, and magazines.
– Avoid citing general encyclopedias, dictionaries, or religious texts in your poster’s main text.
– Utilize the CSE Citation-Name Superscript format for referencing.
– Use 14 to 16 point font for clear readability.
– Ensure accurate spelling, grammar, presentation, and adherence to the topic’s focus.
– Figures should have legends, and proper citations are crucial.
– Incorporate a cohesive color scheme, creative layout, and engaging visuals.
– Accurate, concise graphs, figures, and tables with proper citation are pivotal.
– Aim for a visually appealing, informative, and organized poster.

In this discussion, we will investigate how we use the scientific method to study a problem in our everyday life.   Before we get started, please review the scientific method tutorial available here: Scientific Method Tutorial  
Find a situation in your everyday life that you would like to test using the scientific method. 
A. Start by providing information regarding the problem. Did you provide a description of the situation (these are your observations)?  
B. What is your question (be specific)?  
C. What is your hypothesis? A hypothesis can be stated in the following format: “If ……., Then……”. Your hypothesis is a statement, and never a question.  
D. Identify the Control and Experimental (Treatment) groups. What is the difference between control and experimental groups? What is the independent variable? What is the dependent variable? What factors will be kept constant (the control variables)? 
E. Describe your experimental design. How will you conduct your experiment? Could you repeat the experiment and get similar results?  
F. What is your conclusion? Your conclusion should specifically state whether your hypothesis is supported by the results.  Create an experiment with mock data that you created to support/not support your hypothesis and conclusions
