Mara’s Interview Response


1. Describe your feelings about or response to the interview.
I feel like the interview went fairly well. I was really interested in what Dr. Sturgill knew about Alzheimer's. I was really surprised to learn that eye sight is unaffected by Alzheimer's.

2. What changes occurred for you as a result of your interview?
I had a better understanding and different perspective of the topic.

3. Did anything about it disturb you?
I didn't find anything disturbing.

4. Describe the connections you found between the interview and your research/classwork.
Individuals who develop early on-set Alzheimer’s have an inherited predisposition to develop the disease; it is the result of a heritable mutation. Dr. Sturgill believes that other animals are probably susceptible to neurodegenerative diseases.

  1. All,
    Your responses are very frank and complete - thank you. However, Caroline will need to post a reflection before she can earn even partial credit for the interview. Wendell and Mara, 30 out of 30.
    Well done.
    -Dr. Walker
