Mission College Microbiology Goes to Hollywood Paper Microbiology goes to Hollywood!!

This is an assignment worth 20 points! What this assignment is about is watching an approved movie that is based on current or past issues relate to microbiology, the assignment to watch an approved movie, and write a synopsis on not what just happened in the move, but also since you have had microbiology, critique the movie from a scientific point of view. Hollywood tends to “Ad lib” parts of a non-fictional story and spice it up with fiction on order to sell the movie (or make a happy ending). The assignment will be as follows: You will write a 2-3 page paper (double spaced 11 pt. font, single sided paper) on the movie of your choice from the list below and include: a short synopsis of the movie, storyline and characters, followed by a scientific critique of the movie (this is the important part). Critiques might include: plausibility, erroneous science, epidemiological mistakes, biological mistakes, and historical mistakes.

This assignment will be due 23 June 2020 (the day of the final exam) and to be turned in on canvas, it can be turned in anytime prior to the dur date !
