Writing of the Sciences 21003

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?

The title format implies that because of new advancements in the medical field, there can be the possibilities of clones in the near future. 

2.  How do your visual images help your audience adapt to scientific ideas or terms?

The visual image on the cover page shows the futuristic ideology of there being clones in the near future. The essay speaks on the advancement of organ cloning to expand quality of life but can be later used for humans. The other image is a visual of Henrietta Lacks, whose cells were significant in the advancement of developing vaccines and other medical techniques. 

3.  Are there any words or formalities your audience might find confusing? 

I made this essay very simple to understand since this was the criteria listed in the beginning. I wanted everyone to be able to understand who Lacks was and what her contribution is. 

4.  What linguistic ideologies might the audience hold? 

The african americans were not treated like humans, the research done on the african americans was at the “home of negros”. Nor did the science world or the government care about morals or ethics when it came to using them as experiments and discrediting them. 

5.  Explain how you address memories of structural racism or classism in science

attributing to peoples’ distrust in science.  

People of color never received credit for medical breakthroughs they took part in. They were left to die by the government when they refused to give African Americans the treatment for syphilis. 

6.  What informal terms, slang or colloquial phrases are you assuming your audience

knows.

A slang term that is used in my essay was “Home of Crazy Negroes”, which everyone knows as a mental institution and the introduction which describes a situation anyone could be in. 

7.  Are there examples recounting real-life experiences that might resonate with your

Audience? 

The Tuskegee syphilis study, in which black men with syphilis were never given their diagnosis or that they were not being treated for the lethal disease

8.  Does the essay format help or impede understanding?

The essay format used helps us with the understanding of how we got to the scientific technological advancements we have today.

9.  What do citing sources imply about the information you are sharing?

People of color are finally being given the credit they deserve from the medical industry and national news channels.

10.  Describe the secondary audience least likely to read this article, and explain why?

Someone who is not interested in finding out about cells might end up reading because they are researching vaccines and their origins. 

11.  How might you make this information more accessible to audiences who don’t read the

New York Times?

In this modern generation everyone is attached to their phones, so it would be better to spread information through social media.

12.  How might you present this information differently to second language learners?

(Language, format, and medium (video/poster/flyer/essay) Explain your response,

To present this information to second language learners, I would try to add more visuals to make it more appealing and somewhat easier to read for people who struggle to follow along with English. While learning and understanding a new language, having visuals is very vital.
