November Post

 Hello Everyone, 

Hope everyone has been having a fun and safe weekend! Can you believe that we are already finished with this semester? I feel like this whole entire semester has flown by so fast!!! It's crazy thinking about it!  

I feel like this whole semester I have been doing a lot of work using Excel, which has been super great! I really love being able to use excel and put graphs together. It's making me realize more and more what kind of work I want to do after graduation. Being a data analyst scientist sounds pretty cool! 

This semester I mentioned how Marissa and I had been doing a research project for the NCUIRE Racial Justice Project. That went pretty well, we were able to do a scatter plot graph and look at the correlation analysis of COVID-19 Cases and annual income per zip code. The data was collected around September, so I feel like the data has been outdated now that we are seeing the second peak. It would be interesting to see an ongoing research in a year or two of the aftermath of COVID-19 and be able to provide a more stable data collection of the impact from the first and second peak of Covid-19 cases. 

I don't have the graph, I would need to get it to you guys so you guys can see a visual representation. I'm considering maybe presenting it next spring at the NCUIRE research conference next semester (-: 

Hope everyone is staying healthy during these trying times. Hope to see all of you soon, miss interacting with each and every one of you. 

Best, 

Francisco

 Hi Everyone! 

Hope everyone has been having a great semester so far! How have your classes been with the transition of doing online this semester. Not going to lie, I really do miss being physically present when doing labs and being there with a team. Its been hard to get to be with people physically, but hopefully soon things will be a bit different. I have hope (: 

This semester I got to participate in an NCUIRE Research project with Marissa. We have collected data from azdhs on covid cases and population sizes by zip. Within this experiment we will evaluate the covid cases by percentage within each zip code and provide a line scatter plot graph to see the rate of change within each area. Its important to look at the average income base and covid-19 cases to demonstrate the impact of covid-19 has had in certain areas based on class and race. We are currently writing up our research paper to turn in, so hopefully by the next post we will have the graph to present (:
