Finally they individually worked on a project where they attempt to alignimages of embryos according to species and stage of development (Figures 1-3). At the end ofthe last activity they were told that the reason it is so hard to align the images correctly isbecause all these species came from a common ancestral species that had DNA instructions forearly development that all the different vertebrate species still share, and that what makes thespecies different are the

It's nice and everything being the pioneer, but there's so many challenges to this because you're dealing with unknown variables the entire time, and new things to solve. First, we have to focus on specific things in order to—if we want to advance it even more. And after we have that, we can start thinking about how we can apply this in other places.

For the many studies that considered the experience of being seen andassessing it within self-reflection and the perspective of others, how did a lack of recognitionmanifest?
