In this term, the focus of my personal project was on the implementation of Amazonian medicinal plants in cancer research. Throughout the span of 3 weeks, I conducted research to write an argumentative essay on ethnobotany in cancer research and what that means for our futures. 

In Vietnam, I explored the efficacy of applying acupuncture to treat chronic pain. Throughout the term I researched the different techniques of acupuncture: dry needling, electro-acupuncture therapy, and more. I also learnt about different acupoints and their effects on the human body system. 

During this term, I was engaged in expanding my artistic horizon and skills by taking up pottery. I explored the historical context of pottery and how different demographics influenced pottery techniques, materials, and the application of pottery. Using the knowledge I've gained from research, I created my own pottery piece as the summative for this personal project.
