Slide 1: Create a slide with an appropriate title. Let the title be descriptive!

Question

For example, “Wolbachia Project” tells an audience nothing about the information in the slides.

What have you learned about this project so far? What are you going to do by the end of the semester in this course?

Answer 1

Title: Insights and Goals for the Wolbachia Research Project

In this slide, I will share key learnings about the Wolbachia Project, focusing on its significance in public health and entomology. Additionally, I will outline my objectives for the remainder of the semester, which include:

1. Understanding Wolbachia's Role: I have learned how Wolbachia, a genus of bacteria, influences the reproduction and lifespan of insect populations, particularly in controlling disease vectors like mosquitoes.

2. Research Applications: The project explores potential applications of Wolbachia in reducing the transmission of diseases such as dengue and Zika by manipulating insect populations through biological control methods.

3. Collaboration and Interdisciplinary Approaches: I've gained insights into the importance of collaboration among different scientific fields such as genetics, ecology, and public health.

4. Future Objectives: By the end of the semester, I aim to:

   • Conduct a deeper literature review on Wolbachia and its impact.
   • Engage in hands-on experiments or field studies if available.
   • Present my findings and suggestions for future research or practical applications of the Wolbachia Project.

This slide serves as a foundation for understanding both the progress made and the continual learning I hope to achieve in this course.
