User:ZP19/Evaluate an Article

Which article are you evaluating?
Bacterial senescence

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose to evaluate this article because it is about aging in bacteria which is a phenomenon that is not as well understood as aging in animals. This is important because bacterial senescence can play a key factor in human health. For example, understanding how bacteria age during the course of an infection may help better treat infections. Bacterial senescence can also play a role in the human microbiome.

Evaluate the article
The article has a strong introduction that provides a good overview on the topic of bacterial senescence. It speaks with a neutral tone that goes over the various mechanisms of bacterial senescence. There could be more discussion on damage accumulation within bacteria and some claims are made without a citation.
