This week's research check I found a great and useful article. The article talks about a link that could be a reason of what causes autism. It talks about genetic background from these two brothers who have autism and a mice who had autism and also the gene NLGN3. The two brothers also had the gene NLGN3 and that's why they believe that the brothers received autism because the mice was the first mice to be experimented with autism. I talked about this research on my lesson plan and I'm also writing about it on my additional blog because it's so interesting and something new that could or could not be the cause of autism. Below I will share the link of the article.

Blog 13: Lesson 2 Reflection
1.What are you most proud of in your Lesson 2 Presentation and why?
I'm most proud of my hook activity in me Lesson 2 Presentation because I feel like it caught the attention of my audience. It got them hooked on to my topic wanting to know more about autism. I also showed a 2 min video that explained more about my hook activity.
2. What assessment would you give yourself on your Lesson 2 Presentation (self-assessment)?
I believe that I deserve a P on my Lesson 2 Presentation because I met all of the requirements for under a P consideration. My powerpoint was a lot about my research. I knew everything I had to talk about and referenced a lot of my research. I also had an activity that went well with my topic. For these many reasons I honestly think I deserve a P.
3. What worked for you in your Lesson 2?
What worked for me in my lesson was that I had a lot of research to base my essential question and my answer on. Autism is a really huge thing and a disorder that's really common so researching was not so hard to do. I think that's what helped me reference a lot of my research.
4. What didn't work? If you had a time machine, what would you have done differently to improve your Lesson 2?
I think what didn't work for my lesson plan was the time I had to speak because autism is really long to explain and so much to discuss about, I think if I had more time then my presentation would run smoother. I guess the thing I could do to improve this is to cut some parts off on my topic.
5. What do you think your answer #2 is going to be?
I think my answer will be about the link of vaccines causing autism, but that's obviously not true so I don't know if i'm going to have it as an answer then explain why it isn't true or just not have that as an answer.

Blog 12: Mentorship 10 Hours Check
1. Where are you doing your mentorship?
I'm doing my mentorship at a Pediatric Clinic in Pomona.
2. Who is your contact?
My mentor is Dr. Chen. She's a pediatrician at the clinic I do my mentorship at.
3. How many total hours have you done?
The total number of hours that I have is 92 hours.
4. Summarize the 10 hours of service you did.
The 10 hours of service that I did at my mentorship was a lot of things. On somedays I shadowed my mentor Dr. Chen. I went inside with her into every one of the rooms so she could see her patients. I took notes and wrote down questions that she could answer for me. By the end of the day I sat down with her so that she could answer every one of them. On some of the other days I helped some of the medical assistants with their LOTS. The part I enjoy most doing at my mentorship is having to take down the vitals of the patients. After I take down their vitals I then put the patients medical information into the computer.

Blog 11: Holiday Project Update
1. What did you do over the break with your senior project?
Over my winter break I did a lot of research for my senior project. While researching about my topic and my EQ I found a video about Dr. Andrew Wakefield. I decided to post that as my additional blog because I found it so interesting how he believes that there is a link between autism and vaccines. Nothing or no one could tell him otherwise. I also volunteered at my pediatric clinic during my winter break. I talked with my mentor about some of the questions that I had about and I also showed her my mentorship log and explained it to her. She told me it was neat seeing that my school would assign us something like that.
2. What was the most important thing you learned from what you did, and why? What was the source of what you learned?
The most important thing I learned from what I did over my winter break was the video that I saw on Dr. Andrew Wakefield. It was so interesting watching this doctor talk to the public on how autism is caused because of vaccines. Dr. Wakefield was so sure about what he was saying that no one was able to put some common sense into him. Scientists and researchers have so much data discussing about how there is absolutely no link and Dr. Wakefield still says he believes that there is.
3. If you were going to do a 10 question interview on questions related to answers for your EQ, who would you talk to and why?
I talked with my mentor about this question and I asked her who would she recommend and she recommended me another doctor that works at the same clinic just on different days. His name is Dr. Hung. He goes in on Wednesdays and Thursday. I would like to talk to interview him because my mentor recommended him and also because he's a doctor at the same place I volunteer at so he's known me for a while and have seen what I do as a volunteer there.
