Science Podcast Annotated Bibliography and Media

Posted on: Tue, 07/02/2019 - 16:23 By: Daniel Anderson

For this assignment, you will create an annotated bibliography and a collection of media clips that will support your podcast project. Before beginning, be sure to coordinate with your group to determine the area of focus for each member's research. You can conduct some broader research, but gear this activity around the questions, points of interest, and interested parties that you have been assigned by your group. There are two key components:

1.) Research bibliography. Compose an annotated bibliography related to your topic that includes at least five sources, two of which must be academic sources accessed through the UNC Libraries web site. In the bibliography, list the sources, and then a provide a "conversation-starter" question related to the source. The conversation-starter questions will prompt conversant to discuss key conclusions or interesting aspects of the source; it should be open-ended and focused, and not a yes-or-no question. Also identify a short quotation from the source. The quotation should also serve to further conversation. So, you will list the source, provide a question, and pick out a compelling quotation. Repeat this process for all five sources. Compose the bibliography using APA format.

2.) Media materials. On the same document, identify at least three media clips that you can play during your recorded conversations. If you choose a video clip, be sure that it has good audio components for the podcast. Clips should generally be around 30 seconds long, so if you pick a longer media item, be sure to identify time stamps for the segment that you want to include. In addition, compose an annotation for each entry with a conversation starter question. So, you will list the media resource, provide timestamps for the segment you might to include in the podcast, and provide a question.

Once you have completed the annotated bibliography and identified the three media clips, use the Science Podcast Bibliography and Media option on our web site to upload the items. You will be asked to both upload the file and enter the links to the media pieces. Complete the assignment before class on Monday, July 8th.

Can humans make biodegradable plastics that will work in the ocean? “The process of polymerization of the monomers that form plastics is never 100% complete, and the remaining monomer building blocks of the polymer, such as styrene and bisphenol-A, along with residual catalysts, can migrate from the polymer matrix into compounds with which they come in contact.”

Oil spill problems and sustainable response strategies through new technologies. Environmental Sciences: Processes and Impacts, 17(7), 121-1219. doi:10.1039/c5em00070j

Why are oil spills a problem if they only occur once in a number of years?

“The major accidents that happen in the oil industry contribute only a small fraction of the total oil which enters the environment. However, the nature of accidental releases is that they highly pollute small areas and have the potential to devastate the biota locally.”

Can workers cleaning up these spills be in jeopardy?

"What we're most concerned about are the VOC and PAH exposures," he says. "This is what people who were exposed to the oil slick itself would have come in contact with."

What are some ways these oil spills can be contained?

“This research investigates the use of various vegetable fibers, namely mixed leaves residues, mixed sawdust, sisal (Agave sisalana), coir fiber (Cocos nucifera), sponge-gourd (Luffa cylindrica) and silk-floss as sorbent materials of crude oil.”

Marine oil biodegradation. Environmental Science and Technology, 50(5), 2121-2129. doi:10.1021/acs.est.5b03333

What happens to all the oil after a major spill?

“Oil that becomes entrained in anaerobic sediments is also likely to have a long residence time, although it too will eventually be biodegraded. Thus, data that encompass everything from the ecosystem to the molecular level are needed for understanding the complicated process of petroleum biodegradation in marine environments.”

How can we reduce our environmental impact of energy sources?

“One of the effective approaches to solve such a problem is the construction and optimization of redundant schemes of technological structures of energy sources.”
