- Lots of effort to place article in larger context
- Slide lay out could be improved: lots of empty space, use larger images and talk through them
- Results presentation a bit convoluted. Try to finish discussion of each experiment with a clear conclusion.
- Repetition of information towards the end
- One presenter had an unprofessional style of presentation

- Good well-structured presentation
- Good introduction
- Methods discussed separately. Try to avoid this, and incorporate in discussion of experiments. Not sure if technology was understood very well.

This article from PubMed explores the role of the ZP2 receptor and protein in the prevention of polyspermy and ensuring only species-specific fusion of spermatozoa and an oocyte occurs. ZP2 is a glycoprotein found in a region of the zona pellucida which surrounds an oocyte, the female gamete. Polyspermy is where membrane fusion occurs between one oocyte and more than one spermatozoa. The authors of this article used gamete samples from both mice and human origin to illustrate their findings.
