I use amazon very regularly. A spreadsheet of data from this site would be simple, and include the items that I purchased in the columns and followed by the price of the items in the row beside it. I would have a total amount of money at the bottom to track how much I have spent on this site. Perhaps I would include the date purchased as well,…[Read more]

A KPI that I use regularly is my Apple Watch. More specifically, the GPS/health tracking that it uses. It track specific and measurable variables, such as my steps, heart rate, mileage, time per mile, and calories burned. I use this all day everyday, but more specifically, when I go for my runs.

In my labs, we use Excel a lot to show graphs and organize our data from our lab notebooks. At first, I made so many mistakes and my labs would take me an unreasonable amount of time. My brother uses Excel a lot for his job so he had to help me out with my labs and show me how badly I was messing my graphs up. The mistake that I made the most…[Read more]

I think that the “Be Skeptical” principle is the most important, though all carry their own values and importance. Going back to check your own work is such an important step. Aside from just business (since my knowledge of it is limited), being skeptical in general is good for discovering new information and creating hypotheses. As a science…[Read more]

200 years of US immigration data put Trump’s ban into context
This article talks about Donald Trump’s ban on immigration from countries that have a primary Muslim community. Though the article does not cover much about it, it does mention that science and medicine are being greatly affected by this ban. As a biology/pre-medical major, I am…[Read more] -

An example of conventional wisdom that I am familiar with is that animal protein is essential for getting the proper amount of protein in a person’s diet. To measure this, I would see how many grams of protein vegans eat per day as compared to someone following a standard, animal product-based diet. Then, I would compare the results from each…[Read more]
