I made a couple of false starts with this in Wix and in Glogster: neither offered what I wanted really. I got closer to what I was attempting to achieve with Prezi. For some reason, I can’t get the embed code to work here, so here’s a link to my visual artefact.

‘Modern medicine is also full of cyborgs, of couplings between organism and machine’ (Haraway, 1991, 149)

‘…anyone with artificial limbs or organs and anyone who is prescribed mood altering or cognitive behavioural medicines can rightly be considered cyborgs’ (Miller, 2011, 212).
