This is a really good topic, particularly for this year. Overall you conveyed an important message, and it was good that you focused just on the evolutionary aspect of H1N1, given that there are many aspects to a virus. A couple of things: where did you find out that "only three influenza A subtypes have been commonly found to successfully infect and transmit from human cell to human cell." (in Intro)? I'm not sure if this is a common known fact, so it may be good to cite the source. Also, there are a few grammatical errors throughout the page, so it would definitely be worth re-checking and proofreading. On a similar note, some of the sentences are repetitive or awkwardly constructed, so proofreading will help pick out those wordy areas.

Overall, I think you did a good job. I particularly thought the headings were helpful to summarize the upcoming section and the figures were appropriate and appealing.


I thought that the paper provided a very thorough overview of the evolution of H1N1. It is a very relevant topic in this time, so nice choice in that regard. As in the previous comment, I suggest some more proofreading as there are a few spots with grammatical mistakes.
