- I have learned several things through this unit, many of them being specific to honeybees and their caste differentiation, such as how EGFR plays a role. Several things I learned are more broadly applicable, such as how there can be many different explanations for the same phenomenon, and how authors can reply to papers published if they have data that shows differing outcomes.
- I have been practicing parsing relevant information from many different sources, and using that information to create models that incorporate ideas from different sources to display a more cohesive approach to an idea. This would be very useful to have both in and outside of this class.
- I find that my challenges in persisting through reading papers that I described in the first DocuLearn are the challenges that I had in this assignment, rather than issues with understanding techniques used, as I have started to just look up any technique that I come across that I am not familiar with.
