Beginning of Class Writing: 140-Character Summary and Citation

Today’s beginning of class writing will be very brief, because we want to spend more time on your research project. Your response for this writing assignment includes two parts.

First, write a summary of the article that you read that is only 140 characters long. How will you do this? Twitter, until recently, limited posts or “tweets” to 140 characters. This limitation actually opens new opportunities for how you think and write. Instead of being too verbose, you have to focus what you say with a laser-like intensity. Use this online tool to write your summary.

Second, write an APA bibliographic entry for the article that you read for today’s class. Your APA bibliographic entry does not have a character count. It may be as long as necessary.

Third, copy-and-paste your 140-character summary and APA bibliographic entry into a *single* comment (your one comment will include your summary and citation) made in response to this blog post to receive credit for your work.

    Emily Sohn discusses the possible breakthrough achievements that blood testing will have in the near future through the usage of new technological advances. It’s very possible that there will be blood based diagnosis of brain injuries, infections and cancers in the near future. Blood tests are becoming more comprehensive and more accurate, all the same, there is too much data emerging from these tests. The blood tests expose dense information of future developments of diseases in healthy people. There is a link between our immune system and the possibilities of blood testing. Also, the Tau protein is being focused on because it is found in high levels during brain injuries . This same protein is linked to Alzheimer disease and type 2 diabetes. Ultimately, this can help us find a diagnostic marker for Alzheimer disease.
