The purpose of the project, Nanotechnology for Cancer Therapy, was to inform the general public about the development of newly engineered technologies at the nano level for use toward cancer therapy. Specifically, the project explores the application of nano particles to effectively treat tumor cells caused by cancer. Unlike current medical treatments which often affect the whole body, nano particles are designed to only interact with the parts of the body affected by cancer. This breakthrough is due to the small size of the particles which are able to be transferred into leaky blood vessels to destroy the tumor cells while at the same time being unable to diffuse easily back out into the bloodstream. As a benefit, this process ensures that tumor cells, not body cells, are the only cells affected by the treatment. However, the possibility for trans-location of the nano particles to other healthy parts of the body still exists, making this type of cancer therapy not completely reliable to use.
Great job with this podcast! I loved how you guys talked directly about and referred to your visual because it made the information much more understandable. I also think your visual was very well chosen because it is very clear. Really great job!
I really enjoyed the conversational twist you brought to your podcast. It was also very creative of you two to change your names. I appreciated the breadth of information your podcast covered, while still asserting powerful points. The reference to the visual also helped maintain my attention. I can see you two put a lot of time and effort into your research. Awesome job!
Very well done. Making it a conversation kept the information interesting and engaging. You explained your visual very well. I enjoyed the explanation of how nano-engineered drugs work and how effective they can be. A well made podcast!
The banter between the speakers helped the presentation flow; it was informative, but didn’t feel like a lecture. Gustave spoke smoothly and clearly, and Merinda sounded well educated on the topic, and presented her information professionally. Really well done guys.
Very enjoyable and unique podcast! It was a great idea to take on personas and to organize your podcast in the form of a conversation. It really kept the presentation of information interesting. My only suggestion would be to improve the transitions between speaking a music. Great job!
I liked this podcast especially because of the banter back and forth. Very unique. It was a little hard to hear the host at the very beginning. Overall, great podcast.
This podcast is very well done. I liked the interview/conversational tone that you guys took with it. I think that made the whole podcast feel less like a lecture and more interesting. However, it is a little hard to hear the host in some points. Other than than, great job!
What i really liked was how the conversation wasn’t monotonous at all and apart from the conversation form of the podcast, the tone changed according to the questions and answers .Well done !
This podcast was very well done. A very nice job was done regarding making the podcast flow with conversation. Everyone spoke with clarity and the information was easy to understand. Great Job.
Very well written script. I also liked the fact that you guys went into detail about the specific picture presented. I thoroughly enjoyed the section on pros and cons of nanotechnology in cancer therapy.
