For this project, we just picked a problem in the world and attempted to solve it using biotechnology and our knowledge of biology that we gained from the year. Our group chose to help over-population, by studying vertical farms. We found that as birth rates increase, resources will be limited, and this will make death rates rise as well. This is like dependent limiting resources in nature, which is a resource that only affects a population when it gets too big. In this example, it is food, which there is a decent amount until we have too many people in the world. We thought that an efficient way of helping lower the death rate is by creating efficient farms that create food for many, while sustaining a business. Vertical farms are multi-story buildings, with rows of boxes that use aeroponics to grow the produce. This presentation has information on the matter:
Concepts:
Yeah look at the presentation, I can't come up with anything other than limiting resources.

Reflection:
We were allowed to choose our groups, so I chose my friends. Working with friends has its pros and cons. My leadership was strong, since everyone was very compliant with each others ideas. This is like the idea of vertical farms, when I said that I wanted to do that to help overpopulation. Also, my cooperation was strong, since I didn't want to do overpopulation in the first place, but I went with it since I was out voted, and I didn't complain.
I was bad with staying on task though, since we would play around for a lot of the project, and was hard to get on track. We struggled with staying on task with the presentation. Also, communication was bad, since I feel that I wasn't the best I could be when presenting my project.
