Hi Matt,

Your group has put together a nice poster! I'm not sure I fully agree with the "Conclusions" you've put there though. See my post on here from November 11th. I am also wondering why you are not showing all of your data?…

Hi Matt,

Your group has put together a nice poster! I'm not sure I fully agree with the "Conclusions" you've put there though. See my post on here from November 11th. I am also wondering why you are not showing all of your data? You really need to assess mutant performance in comparison to the wild type plants. So the poster is a good rough draft, but I would still make some revisions.

Best wishes,

Hi Matt,

Those charts look good and really help you see the germination rate and growth of leaves over time! You also see a clear difference in plants in salt vs. no salt. Salt really hurts plants! Although your wild type did pretty well even in salt. The mutants suffered the most; they had low germination and had particularly stunted growth in terms of number of leaves. So do these results fit with the predictions you made? Remember, a scientist lets the data guide their thinking. If you get results you didn't expect, then you go back and revise your thinking about what might be happening.

Cheers,

Vanessa
