Post an original PowerPoint presentation that summarizes/highlights the research you completed for your research paper. The PowerPoint must include information on the topic from the point of view of each public health domain, be visually stimulating using graphics and pictures as appropriate, and include references both within the PowerPoint and a full citation on the last slide. The PowerPoint should be between 15-20 slides long. Please read the PowerPoints from all of your classmates as they will give you invaluable information on a variety of public health topics. When responding to your peers, comment on something new you learned or something in particular that intrigued you from their research.
