Tone: The idea behind this paper is to convey the information you learned to a layperson. The way this should be done is as if you were writing a news article for a scientific magazine, a newspaper, or a science blog. The tone used in the discussion forums is appropriate for this –  informal yet descriptive. The content should include: The big picture of how the technology impacts the field of reproductive medicine. Why is the problem the technology addresses important? How promising is this technology? What were the KEY studies or findings that have led the field in this new direction. What does this new technology mean for society? Is there a paradigm shift, a new treatment for infertility, or a new way to think about medicine or biology in general? Are there any reasons to ‘proceed with caution’? Is more work needed for the hypothesis to be proven? Are the studies applicable to humans, or for now just mice or other animal models?
