Slide show

slide show

My Idea for the slide show would be to first show some of the different stem cells and focus on the diseases. I would show the pictures of the diseases if at all possible and show some of the stages that occurr when there is no possible cure. I would also show the differnt surgerys performed when harvesting the different types of stem cells. I would try to  show pictures of reasearch projects that are currently going on to dipict the hours scientist put into the cure for each individual patient. I would also emphise how much of schooling each scientist has to go threw to get to be a reasearcher in a stem cell project. This would show that there is muck knowledge going into completeing the project themselves. I may even place some charts with stats showing the cures deaths and possible side effect deaths or worse out comes so that the patients can visually see both sides of the so called coin. I would also possibly show images of the scientist if I have or find. I would also maybe show at what stage would work best for the treatment to work opposed to being so far gone. Although some reasearchers need patients that are in different stages so that hopefilly they would be able to provide a cure for them then.

interview

• What do I still need to know about my topic to successfully support my main idea? I need to gather more information so that I could take a new direction of thought. More toward the science aspect of stem cells.
• Who might be able to offer me that information in an interview? I believe either a hospital or a college who is currently in a reaseach project or clinical trial.
• Why would that person be considered an expert in the field? Dr lucy godley. because she is currenly running a clinical trial at the university of chicaho Medicine.
• What 3 questions can I ask this expert to  elicit the information I need to support my main idea in the webtext?What is your position and what is your day to day job? Is the same issue focused on each day? What is required from you as far as the scientific side? What is the difference in all of the types of stem cells you research by this I mean how you contain and keep them preserved for the scientific portion? Can a patient start noticing the effects of a successful stem cell Transplant right away or is there a length of time before you will know if it took?
• What is my next step to accomplish this field research? The next step would be to contact Lucy and see when would be a good time for her.

Protocol



Stem cells and trials

1.     I will talk to someone who is a scientist who is working a clinical trial where stem cells are being studied.

2.     I will conduct this interview either via email or on the phone.

3.     My goal is to learn the effects on the stem cells themselves and what happens in the process of the trials on the scientific side.

4.     I will conduct this interview in formal and professional manner.

5.     I want to learn the effects on the study of the stem cells themselves and if all of the cells are used in the process and what happens in each step of the process.

6.     I want to learn from both a scientific and personal view on the stem cells studies exactly what ones are most productive in slowing or preventing which diseases.

7.     I want to know there stand on the issue as far as the laws and guide lines of clinical stem cells.

Questions:



What is your position and what is your day to day job? Is the same issue focused on each day? What is required from you as far as the scientific side?



What is the difference in all of the types of stem cells you research by this I mean how you contain and keep them preserved for the scientific portion?



Can a patient start noticing the effects of a successful stem cell Transplant right away or is there a length of time before you will know if it took?



In your opinion why is there so much controversy on embryonic and not so much on other types of stem cells when it comes to clinical trials?



Are there any cells that you notice right on harvesting or testing that you know will not work and how is it that you know this?



What happens in the trials with the funding when there aren’t enough patients for the trial?



Who makes for a healthy patient in harvesting the stem cells? Where do you most likely focus your retrieval from when cells are needed as far as family or random donors?



What does a dr or scientist go through when the transplants are not successful? Do you hold a meeting and try to find out where complications may have occurred or do you just chalk it up to the body just rejected it without further thought?
