That video was really informative even though it was 5 minutes long.

I thought that it would be a boring video, but it was actually really interesting and I enjoyed it, even though I not a big fan of diseases. The pictures of skin rashes caused by pellagra were not pleasant, though (ugh!)

Good thing theres no more Pelegra today. That would be nasty if someone got it. It would also be sad to, that would mean that those people weren't eating properly.

Hi Jykira,

I'm sorry we didn't touch base on this at the end of the day.

Check out this link.

We should be able to use one of these orgs.

Which one stands out to you?

Mr. Forde :-)

I'm glad you all liked the video. I thought it was moving and amazing how terrible the problem was and how easily it could be resolved! :-)

Thank goodness for science.

Mr. F :-)

I really enjoyed the video. I hope we see more videos like this later in the year! The pictures of the disease weren't exactly fun to look at. Having a blog up like this is really great and informative!!

Although this video was about a serious disease and included horrid pictures of the symptoms, I found it quite informative and interesting.

The video really helped me complete analysis question 2B when I played it back, but I was only able to find 3 things out of four for the writing frame sheet.

This video was kind of gross, because of the pics that they showed, but other than that, it was very interesting. It's kinda crazy that people go crazy when they have it though.

I think that most of you found the video a combination of gross and sad but also interesting and hopeful...due to the work of Dr. Goldberger.

Maybe you can decide to put your mind to ridding the world of a problem in the future.

What problem would you like to stamp out through the use of a careful scientific method?

Mr. F :-)
