My final project is an online poster with a brief introduction into neurogenetics. Here’s the link:

I chose neurogenetics because I’ve always had a particularly keen interest in genetics. Over the course, I’ve seen how closely linked genetics and neuroscience is, particularly regarding neurological disorders, and I wanted to explore that a little more. The final product is perhaps not as in depth as I was hoping to go, but I think it still highlights the most important aspects of what neurogenetics is really about.
My project is aimed towards high schoolers with minimal background in either genetics or neuroscience. I was originally planning on doing more of an infographic, but I wanted to include explanations that were more…well, explanatory. That’s how I ended up with a poster of sorts. It combines the high level of interest that accompanies the bold graphics and colors of an infographic, but still doesn’t compromise on content.
I hope you guys like it!

I really loved the medium you chose. It was clean, entertaining, and eye-catching. You did a really great job of keeping the information simple so it will relate to a wider audience.
That’s a great poster! Very informative and accessible, and I like how you tied a specific example at the end. I also really liked the platform you chose to build the poster in.
Your poster is awesome! I chose the same medium. You did a great job with the layout and the information is very well organized. Also, I like the bit on Huntington’s disease, that has always interested me.
Your poster looks fantastic! There’s enough information and its easy to follow. Great job, it’s so colorful!
Your poster is really cool! I like the layout and the colors and the pictures that you included. The information was interesting and the poster made the information easy to follow.
