Brain Lady

All in all i enjoyed the lady's presentation on brain development the other night, however there are a few things that i became frustrated with during the speech. the first aspect the annoyed my was her over use of images. it almost seems as though she went way out of her way just to add every little bit of clip art that she could. i was mostly annoyed with the because it became distracting from her presentation as a whole. i found myself only able to focus on the mobile images and every little picture, rather than listening to the content of her argument.

which brings me to my next point...

Obviously alcohol has a negative impact on the brain. i am not going to argue against that in any shape or form because it is simply fact. however, a side by side comparison of alcohol and meth seemed a bit far fetched for me. her entire presentation was on the development of the brain, in particular, the brain of adolescents. to have made the scenario more realistic, i feel as though she should have included something about minors use of pot and the effects it has on the brain. the fact that she compared booze and meth side by side seemed as though she was placing them on a similar plane which really really annoyed the hell out of me.
