A. The ted talk was engaging. I wished it continued on about they fought back against the Ebola outbreak.
B. I didn't feel lost or confused throughout the TED talk, but there were some terms used that I didn't understand.
C. I feel personally connected as going through the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic it was easy to connect with what Sabeti was saying. If she was able to put her efforts from studying and working on the Ebola virus, I can only hope her efforts in studying the Coronavirus could have helped in someway from it's spread throughout our country.
D. One potential drawback from Sabeti's approach is the fact she released data without having it peer-viewed. If something within the date is incorrect could have caused major issues within her research operations. Module Five Question 2
