Jonathan Cluck Tuesday, April 21, 2009 10:05 AM Proposal Presentation Review Reviewer: Logan Williams Presentation Time : 210 - 222 Q&A Time: 222- ?? EMPIRICAL Epigeneticists CONCEPTUAL Metaphors Language of epigeneticists METHODOLOGICAL See answer to question no. 3 PRACTICAL Work against biological determinism You're not interested in institutional factors that structure this OVERVIEW Good genetics picture & explanation Good history of genetics NEW KNOWLEDGE ??the epigeneticists have not been discussed before HOW Interview (professionals) x 2; participant observation x 1 DATA TYPES Exemplar is lab at Duke University ?? ?? Connected to timeline in overview; in Q/A mentions there is more $$ in epigenetics right now than ever before yes; clear Good visuals & explanation; however more text would be nice so if I miss a point (which I am pretty sure that I did), or, do not understand a point, there is something I can read Good that you held document 'out' when reading -- your voice projected into the room (instead of onto the table) I did not really understand your explanation of why you will not be doing any sort of young adult or child education programs
