My STEAM project is about how compromised lungs due to carcinogens, like smoking, have a change in cells. The change experienced in the cells makes it harder to fight off foreign matter to keep the lungs healthy. With that, lung cancer is the outcome and tumors will most likely form. …
I made a picture to represent how the breakdown of the myelin sheath from MS affects the electrical impulses in our nerves. You can see one cell has full sheaths and the other doesn’t. The impulses are full and travel down the entirety of the axon in the healthy cell. …
Steam Project MS STEAM Essay For my STEAM project I have decided to research the disease Multiple Sclerosis.

My STEAM project is on bone repair after a comminuted fracture of the calcaneus bone. The four steps of bone repair are hematoma formation, fibrocartilaginous callus formation, bony callus formation, and bone remodeling. I modeled all my bones out of fondant and used real screws to depict the screws.

I wrote my project on kyphosis and the surgical procedure to correct it: kyphoplasty. This is a subject that is very dear to me as my dad often did this procedure to help people. In short, kyphosis is when a vertebrae collapses (thus causing the patient to have a “hunchback”) …
For my STEAM project I made a short film depicting the virus COVID 19 and tried to show the basics of how it enters cells and infiltrates the body. The main “characters” are the COVID-19 virus, and the killer T white blood cells that combat it, in addition to some …
I wrote my project on Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy also known as DMD. This subject is near to me as both of my boys have DMD. This project is about how one little protein can cause all sort of havoc in the body.
I decided to create a five canvas panel to show the different stages of decomposition. I used acrylic paints, a sharpie, and a healthy dose of nihilism. There is some aspect of nudity, but it is for artistic purpose and because clothes go through a completely different process of decomposition than the human body. Click photos for better quality.
