  When and why did you decide to go into a science career?

  
  
• Answer the question you selected for profile question 1 here (300 words):

  Ever since I was a young child —for as long as I can remember. I have always been curious about alot of things. I always wanted to seek answers to my numerous questions on the working principle of almost everything I saw. Thus, upon getting to high school, I was sure that pursuing a science career was the best for me. I was able to effortlessly perform excellently in sciences. Ultimately, I took a plant science career due to my love for plants.

I like that your box plot is informative. Welldone. However, i have some interesting thoughts/questions.

1. Why did you use a separate color for the G2 Part Dark compared to the rest? It's important to stay consistent with your colors. Using separate color for the different treatment (Dark, Light, and Part Dark) could make the information clearer. You can also consider arranging similar groups in a similar order like the G2 and G3 such that you have: Dark, Dark, Part Dark, Part Dark, and Light. This will make it easy to read and compare the results. 

2.     I see that some of the groups of different treatment have very close median values (e.g, G4 and G1). This makes it difficult to make a reliable inference. Did you perform statistical tests? In cases like this, scientists usually perform some statistical test to help them show that the results are truly similar/different.

Oh, nice that you found that your results matched your prediction. Why do you think that the plants in the partial light condition should have the longest hypocotyl compared to the rest?

Hello Arrabbiata,

It is true that exposing your plants to a little light could have affected your results. Now, you know what to avoid if you have to repeat the experiments. However, because your results do not entirely support your claim (due to…

Hello Arrabbiata,

It is true that exposing your plants to a little light could have affected your results. Now, you know what to avoid if you have to repeat the experiments. However, because your results do not entirely support your claim (due to the errors with the plants in dark conditions), your inference has to be made with caution. This is another proof of the importance of proper experimental design. Welldone!
