<p>Furthermore, we discovered that the Moroccan people had various approaches to treating kidney stones. Many of these methods were deeply rooted in their culture and had a long history of traditions. One approach involved using an amethyst rock, which would be placed in a bowl of hot water. Later, the water would be consumed to extract the supposed healing properties of the amethyst (see picture A below). Other remedies were more aligned with modern medicine, using a variety of herbs and plants to extract biochemical compounds aimed at alleviating kidney stones in the patient (see picture B below).</p>
<p>We reached out to several schools and ended up sending a delegation of presenters out to a public primary school and a high school. In addition, we contacted the national natural science center and presented for two teams at their biotechnology talent camp for high schoolers. These presentations were also valuable experiences for our team, as we practiced explaining and simplifying technical project details. Our presentation slides for the biotechnology talent camp (aside from a few very technical slides. More so we reused the same slides for the other presentations) are shown below - do note that the slides are in Danish as we wished to make the presentations more accessible for the students.</p>
