Science Communication Assignments: (4x)

Science Communication Assignments: (4x)

  • Topic: You will choose a medical condition related to one of the anatomical systems we covered in the class sections leading up to when the assignment is due.
    1. Or, you may pick subjects related to anatomy that interest you or are relevant to future career goals
    2. Current events are okay too!
    3. Basically, just tell me why/how you picked your topic if you do something other than what we are covering in class.
    4. Conditions we covered in class are allowed. Visible Body also has pathology sections you can use.
  • You will then prepare a short communication for the public on your chosen topic. When picking your audience, consider your friends, family, and future patients.
    1. Example communications
      1. A brochure from a doctor’s office or health care clinic (single brochure length, you may use templates to design it)
      2. A letter to a relative indicating your concerns about their or your health (approx. two pages double-spaced)
  • A buzzfeed article (approx. two pages double spaced, excluding space for images)
  1. A short powerpoint lecture on your topic (approx. 5-10 slides)
  2. A short youtube educational video (not to exceed 10 minutes)
  3. A Tik Tok or series of educational Tik Toks on your topic (not to exceed 10 minutes total)
  • A short podcast segment on your topic (not to exceed 10 minutes)
  • You may also use images if you create them yourself OR properly cite/source where you got the images from.
  • Since these assignments are in an informal format, a formal in-text citation is not needed. A reference list should be provided for each assignment, but any citation format is okay.
  • You do not have to upload the assignments to your own social media- as long as you provide them in a format I can open and I know what the intended format was, that’s good enough. Linking me to media on your google drive is okay too as long as the link is shared so I can open it.
  • You may work together to get feedback from other members of the class on your assignment, but every student should turn in a unique final product.
