Science writing is very specific – it is all about your sources. 
We are using the APA citation and reference style
in this class. Your essays need to have: 
1) in-text citations to tell your reader where your information is coming from (e.g., the TED talk itself); 
2) a short “Referenced Cited” or “Bibliography” at the end. 
Quotes are rarely used in science, and they are not allowed here. 
Instead, paraphrase and cite your source.
Here are some guidelines and examples. 
Also see the next page for an example of an exemplary summary.
