1. What might the title and title format imply? Bold text heading, title in the form of a question, or sarcasm depicted in the title. Is there a hierarchical structure in the format?
– My title might imply more of medicine science rather than space science. Still, I chose this title because I thought it could catch the reader’s eye with curiosity, and my use of the “=” was so kind of showed the relation of The HeLa cells with space I added the question because it will make the reader think ” oh why does the HeLa cells equal future?” for example will there be transportation from ground to space like its from NYC to Buffalo? will the HeLa cells be involved? most likely.
2. How do your visual images help your audience adapt to scientific ideas or terms?
– I only had one cover image and I now wish I had added more, like an example of Vostok 4 and 3, to show the difference of the use of the cells versus not. anywho, I do believe my visual image helps my audience have a better idea of what type of “future” I will be talking about.
3. Are there any words or formalities your audience might find confusing?
– I think I simplified enough the most complicated words that I belive were too scientific. But i think that the repeated use of those words may be confusing because it confused me while reading the article. so maybe i should’ve simplified and used another word that refers to the same thing for a better understanding and less confusion.
4. What linguistic ideologies might the audience hold?
– they might hold ideologies of identity because they could take the information within themselves and see how they feel about the information they just received based on their religion, what they were taught, and their social life.
5. Explain how you address memories of structural racism or classism in science attributing to peoples’ distrust in science.
– Well at first I gave Henrietta’s history and how scientists even got a grasp of her cells, but toward the end, I used her history and compared it to today’s history. How there are laws specifically towards Black and African American communities in healthcare that could make them feel safer and heard.
6. What informal terms, slang, or colloquial phrases are you assuming your audience knows?
– Honestly, I’m not sure myself just because I don’t think I used common words or slags rather than everyday words to get to the point. But I do think this part in my paper “What “longer inactive time frame for recovery” refers to the fact that spaceflight conditions, like radiation exposure, caused stress on the cells, which delayed the time for the cells to begin growing again compared to Earth-based cells” might help the readers understand a little more of what I said before.
7. Are there examples recounting real-life experiences that might resonate with your audience?
– No because I don’t use examples but some things said might make some people resonate with my paper even without the examples.
8. Does the essay format help or impede understanding?
– I don’t believe the forma has anything to do with the understanding.
9. What do citing sources imply about the information you are sharing?
– It implies that I’m not just talking to talk, that I got my knowledge from other experts, and I’m passing down information to a secondary audience and the audience will probably end up feeling slightly smarter for understanding a complex scientific experiment.
10. How might you present this information differently to second language learners? (Language, format, and medium (video/poster/flyer/essay) Explain your response.
– I would most likely do a mix of video and poster because no one wants to see you talk and read off an essay, that’s just boring. I would keep words short on PowerPoint but expand while talking to my audience and show the images when I mention something new or define a new word for the topic.
