A written analysis of a recent news article related to biology is due on December 3rd The goal of this assignment is for you to critically evaluate the science reporting in the article. To do this, you will need to include additional background on the topic, a summary of the article, and your opinions about the content of the article.
Full details You will need to pick a recent news article related to biology, and critical review of that article. I do not need to see the article in advance, but you should think through the paper and decide which article will benefit you most. You will need to summarize the article, provide some background, and give your opinions about the contents of the article.
Summary: Tell your audience (me) the main points of the news story. What is the headline, and what are the key points to the story?
Background: For the background you will need to dig a little deeper into the topic. For example, if you evaluate a story about a scientist working on the molecular genetics of an extinct organism, you will need to explain a little about the methods they are using, and the extinct organism. It is likely that some of that information will be in the article, but would expect you to do some research into the necessary background to make sure your paper tells the entire story.
