The DNA poster created prior to this project along with the COVID posters were very well received, and the researchers were eager to get back to the field with an even better product. Based on some feedback from community members, research assistants and the research team to improve the message, people were excited to be represented in the poster and with that in mind they wanted each community to be represented. This meant that we would create four similar posters, but with different imagery to represent the community.
I cannot thank you enough for creating the images that hundreds of people are responding to so viscerally. It has been a highlight of my fieldwork. Thank you so much.

The images have truly been nothing but a success. Watching people react and learn from them is the best part of every interview I do. We don't have to tell participants who is pictured in the poster - they tell us! This project is a success because of your thoughtful representations and I believe they will become an example of how to appropriately disseminate genetic results. Thank you for these images, I will never be able to thank you enough.
