A+++—my face and sides hurt from laughing; very funny, but greatly effective.

She was the best speaker. Informative in a funny way. Left me with much knowledge of infectious diseases—would like to see her back again.

Learned so much about infectious diseases in a short amount of time, and I'll remember the content because of her creative, fun, and excellent way of presenting.
