Option A — Your First Research Grant Imagine you have just been awarded $2 million to pursue a microbiome research project on any topic of your choosing. In approximately 400-500 words, describe: The biological question you want to answer. Why it matters. How you would study it. Which concepts, techniques, or analytical approaches from this course you would incorporate (e.g., sequencing, multi-omics, machine learning, experimental design, statistical analysis, bioinformatics, study design, etc.). What you hope your study would ultimately change or discover. Lastly: What is one microbiome question that you still hope science answers? The goal is not to design a perfect experiment, but to think creatively and scientifically. Option B — Your TED Talk Imagine you have been invited to give a 10-minute TED Talk titled: "One Thing Everyone Should Know About the Microbiome." Describe the talk you would give, in approximately 400-500 words. Include: your central message, one microbiome myth you would challenge or one curiosity you would share, why the topic matters, how you would engage a non-scientific audience, and at least one concept or technique from this course that helps explain your message. Lastly: What is one microbiome question that you still hope science answers?
