Response to book presentation

 "Immortal life of Henrietta Lacks"

 Table 1

This presentation on the book, "Immortal life of Henrietta Lacks," by Table 1 was very informative and intersecting. I think it was clear from the start that their presentation was well planned and their speech helped the presentation as well. The way the presentation was displayed through prezi allowed the audience to follow along easily through the sort of bubble map that was created not only was it easy to follow their prezi they managed to make the presentation captivating. I think the correlation they made between the book and cloning was very impressive not only did they explain the correlation they also managed to have examples and found a way to make it interesting with talk of actual clones.

Rose fell
She could not smell
A doctor told her to stop
She thought she would smell never
One Doctor thought he was clever
He told her he would never let this drop

Alzheimer's disease is an incurable brain disorder that slowly destroys memory and thinking skills, and eventually the ability to carry out the simplest tasks. In most people with Alzheimer's, symptoms first appear in their mid-60s.Like all types of dementia, Alzheimer's is caused by brain cell death. It is a neurodegenerative disease, which means there is progressive brain cell death that happens over a course of time. The total brain size shrinks with Alzheimer's the tissue has progressively fewer nerve cells and connections.So typically complications of Alzheimer's are heart attacks, thromboembolisms, strokes, kidney failure, and lung infections due to aspiration of food. Multi-organ failure is usually the cause of death in these patients.Alzheimer's disease is named after Dr. Alois Alzheimer. In 1906, Dr. Alzheimer noticed changes in the brain tissue of a woman who had died of an unusual mental illness. Her symptoms included memory loss, language problems, and unpredictable behavior. Although there is not a cure yet, there are clinical trials trying to find a cure for the disease; in the mean time the patients are just admitted in hopes to keep them comfortable and safe.

Blame Your Brain for Food Cravings

Blame Your Brain for Food Cravings

By JULIA WESTBROOK







I think it is interesting that they compare a food craving to one of a drug addiction. I think this was an interesting article because it attempts to solve the mystery of why cravings are so strong and hard to get rid of. I also think the advice given is pretty broad and common sense as i began reading i thought it would help with a solution to over come the "cravings" but they don't they simply say you have to know the difference between a craving and hunger; as i recall i can always tell the difference. What i did like was that they state that one should not blame themselves for falling for it, it is not a weakness its simply part of the human brain. Overall I thought it was an interesting article that was an easy read.
