Introduction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For this project we were asked to find somebody who we thought was significant and document them thoroughly<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For my documentary I wanted to research about medical technology, and in my research I found a interesting company called Melio Labs. It’s a company that is developing solutions to the very pressing medical problem of sepsis and antibiotic resistance by developing significantly faster testing methods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For English, we were asked to make our documentary into the form of a research paper that was 5 to 7 pages long. We started by  contacting the people we wanted to interview, and scheduling to interview them. The first person I interviewed was the founder and CEO, Dr Mirdu Sinha, who gave me a very useful insight into how and why she started Melio and how their technology works. I also interviewed their director of microfluidics Dr Luc Bousse, who gave me a more detailed explanation on the workings of their technology. He also gave me an insight into the company culture of Melio and how he got there in life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Digital Media <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In digital media we were asked to turn the text that we had made into a magazine article. First, we had to learn how to use InDesign. So to do that, we copied a article from a senior student who had an exemplary article. In this way, we could not only learn how to use InDesign but also learn from the best when it comes to the design itself. After we did all this, we had to basically do the same thing but with our own content. Luckily,  as a design student I already had all the content from making my book.  All I had to do was arrange it. This entailed a somewhat large number of things, including photos, graphic elements, pull quotes, and the already written text of the paper. It took some time to get this all done <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
