Ahhh, VoiceThread rears its ugly head once again.
On the bright side, it looks like you've ironed out the technical issues with this format, especially as it relates to audio quality. All things considered, it was a very strong vocal delivery of the narrative, with good pacing and flow. I'm not sure it was necessary to mix up the delivery between all the different people, but it sure didn't ruin it either. Lots of information in a relatively short timespan is a credit to good editing choices.
Many of the images were appropriate and well-selected, though there were a few exceptions: You left us looking at dollar signs and a tea cup for almost 30 seconds each -- which didn't expand my understanding of this plant. It just made me want to get a piping hot cup of Earl Grey and sit down to do some online banking.

I liked that the narrators
I liked that the narrators switched here and there, helped keep me focused, and was very conversational. I think you did a good job with Voice Thread's capabilities.

good research
First off, TRU-DP, I admire your pluck in attempting another voicethread. You used it effectively & made it work for this presentation. I felt that your research was very strong: your information about market products was topical & interesting. Of all the teams, your explanation of the issues around 'intellectual property rights' was the best. All this AND you stated your references!
Of course, there's always room for improvement... Your narration wasn't bad (certainly better than teams in previous submissions) but it was a bit rushed & consequently enunciation, clarity suffers as a result. Your presentation wasn't bad but a little more pizzazz wouldn't hurt. And (this would have been easy to fix) there was no real ending: the presentation just peters out.

Ah, a Voice Thread! This
Ah, a Voice Thread! This looks familiar...=)
I didn't know that Devil's Club products were being produced so comercially. Did you find that salve locally?
Some good points, especially on your last slide re: the rights to knowledge.
