Module Five Question 1
a.
Was this TED Talk engaging? Did you want to keep listening? Why or why not? b.
During the presentation, did you ever feel lost or confused? Did you understand the technical concepts that Sabeti presented when explaining her work? c.
After listening to her talk, do you feel personally connected to the issue? Does her
work affect you? Why or why not? d.
Discuss at least one potential drawback of Sabeti's approach that you want to see
her address in future presentations, publications, or research.
It was a bit engaging, but I felt as though I didn't have much of an interest in listening because I don't believe the point she was trying to make is valid. While I believe it may need to be looked into more, I don't believe no peer review and going straight to public publication
is the smartest method. It could lead to misinformation, wasted time, and unprofessional opinions looked at as facts. I did not feel lost and everything presented was clear and understandable. While I may need to look into the issue more, I don't feel as though it connects to me because i disagree with the point being made. What's to stop someone from claiming professionalism, and publishing misleading information only making the problem worse? Module Five Question 2
Who is the audience of Pardis Sabeti's TED Talk? Focus not only on the audience shown when the camera cuts away from the stage but also on Sabeti's message and how she chooses to present this message. Who does it seem like she's talking to? What evidence do you rely on to help answer this question?
While I feel as though her target audience were peers in her field and others, stating that there's possibly a more practical method for information to reach the populous, I fear she reaching an audience of everyday people. The way she speaks, it seems as though she is trying to advocate for a more open forum type of publication of reliable information. While that seems to makes sense on the surface, it opens to the door for the general public to not understand who to trust. I'm not stating she is wrong, just that the idea of just releasing the data without having a credible peer review structure in place, could be dangerous and muttle true information with opinion. Module Five Question 3
How does Pardis Sabeti tailor the message of her presentation to her audience?
She uses clear and concise language that involves focusing of her topic of how to collaborate
on epidemiology. Instead of focusing on the virus or spread itself, she focuses on explaining the possibilities from public collaboration , and how the trials they have seemed to run has been effective in that regard, trying to emphasis the usefulness of the method.
