October - Extra Blog Post for the Halloween Tricksters

One last hoorah for our dear friend, Mr. James Edwardinsky Hansen. A moment of silence for the fallen genius. Mr. Hansen has not died, but he was one of the most famous and dedicated climate scientists in our world. He has chosen to become a climate activist and retire from working at the government's NASA research group. 

Dear James was one of the first gentlemen to warn the people that human green house emissions were causing the global climate to warm up. Scientists since then have studied his predictions.
He also studied the dangers of sea level rise, and tried to explain to scientists that they should warn people more ferociously of the danger.

Mr. Hansen's research has always been important and has shown new ideas. Yet, one of his most profound qualities, was the words he voiced. James was outspoken and went far to make sure people heard of the state of the world's climate. He had even been arrested at certain times.

Mr. James Hansen was a true citizen, only wanting the best for his world's environment, for the world of his fellow brothers and sisters. He is one of the reasons I became interested in Climatology. I hope to be an active and outspoken citizen like him, to fight for the best of the world. 

Blog 8 - Research and Working EQ

Working EQ

What three ways is human kind most affected by climate changes?

     Because of precipitation level change, water level change, ecosystem change,  
     and weather change, humans are being affected in:

• Economy (resources)
• Residential Areas
• Adaptation

Most Important Source

The Environmental Protection Agency has provided a lot of insight and information because they study, record, and analyze the environment and the changes that occur. 

Mentorship

My mentor is Rainer Luptowitz, a graduate at UCR, where I speak with him. He studies precipitation changes and how it affects different regions. One day we discussed the El Nino and La Nino and how it affected regions. This made me think about how the people would be affected. I decided I wanted to focus my project on how climate impacts people's lives. 

Blog 7: Independent Component 1 Approval

Independent Component 1 Approval 

What I plan to do for 30 hours

       

       I plan to research two very common diseases in California residents. These diseases will be type 1 diabetes and cervical cancer. I will research what each disease is, how people can contract it, how it affects the person's body, and what current treatment for the disease is. These diseases are affecting our men and women and it is the job of doctors and nurses to inform them of what they are going through, and help them get through it all. I am going to spend my 30 hours researching these components, and also interview my mentor and the office phlebotomist about their experiences with patients who have these diseases and how they have helped those patients. I will then write an essay in the form of a letter to a friend, on my findings. 

How I will show and what I will do, to show evidence of my completing 30 hours

       I will show evidence, and the results of my research component through means of an essay in the form of a letter to a friend.

How this independent component will help me explore my topic, more in depth

      I believe this will help me explore my topic more in depth because my essential question is: what is the best way for a doctor to increase patient satisfaction? To satisfy a patient, the doctor needs to first understand everything that is happening inside that patient. Once they understand what the patient is going through, they will know how to better approach and help that patient. So then they will better know how to satisfy that patient. Researching two very common diseases will help me with this. Since many people are experiencing these diseases, a doctor must understand the diseases to better help and satisfy those many patients.
