https://t.co/8T4EEvf0mD The article I read discussed tactics used to increase the number of female voters. It also illuminated some of the key issues that prevent women from voting.

[kaia heslin @kaiahstats]

Two Questions:
1. What are the topics that female voters are the most passionate about?
2. How do politicians cater to female voters?

[kaia heslin @kaiahstats]

I would say that the sources of this article's information were very credible, as the foundation reported all of their own data. The League of Women Voters was founded in the 1920s and is a reputable group that has branches across the country and helps women claim their vote.

rstudio in class today #math530 !!!

[kaia heslin @kaiahstats]

this is a rough sketch of my data visualization poster! i hope to use histograms, bar graphs, and scatter plots to compare different factors that may impact carbon emissions by city in the US. i want my map in the center to grab attention!

[kaia heslin @kaiahstats]

For my #math530 data visualization project I would like to answer the question, does consumer spending impact carbon emissions in the united states?

[kaia heslin @kaiahstats]

Questions:

1. Why would the accuracy of predictions vary based on location? What does that say about the scope of the technology used?

2. Based on these predictions, could NOAA predict the impacts of weather types in the affected areas?

[kaia heslin @kaiahstats]

This article visualizes the chances for a warmer/colder and heavier/lighter than average precipitation-filled December. The predictions may indicate the influence of jet streams and the La Niña year.

[NOAA Climate.gov @NOAAClimate]

Did we read that right? It's December already? Time to talk about the December Climate outlook from @NWSCPC. For December, odds favor a colder-than-average month across the northern contiguous US, and a warmer-than-average month in the south. https://t.co/b0DBNWrLjt

[kaia heslin @kaiahstats]

The graphs and data used in the article come from the NOAA Climate Prediction center. This is a reasonably accurate source since it is well-funded and run by the government. This article, in particular, was not an opinion article and centered around facts.

#math350 is almost over for the term 😭 i really enjoyed practicing experimental design in groups over the past week. i love talking to and getting to know my peers!

Questions:
- Do certain national parks have more biodiversity than others?
- How do scientists discover new species living within national parks?

Twitter journal entry #2

[kaia heslin @kaiahstats]

3/4

The source says that 80%-90% of species within the national park probably remain undiscovered and that over the past 16 years, 21500 new species have been discovered. I think that the source is credible, as it is data collected by the government, and is probably well funded.

2/4

This article discusses the importance of biodiversity in national parks. People love visiting national parks, and take time to appreciate the world around them. The article tries to persuade the reader to care about national parks and the nature within them.

[kaia heslin @kaiahstats]

I plan on researching if the size of a national park has a positive correlation with the number of plant and animal species living in the park for my #math530 project !

[kaia heslin @kaiahstats]

Two questions I have about this article are...
How fast can we (reasonably) reverse the effects of climate change?

Of all the proposed policies to reduce carbon emissions, which would be most effective?

[kaia heslin @kaiahstats]

https://t.co/pjJWCPr4Dd.

My article for #math530 discusses climate change and how much energy it takes to raise the global surface temperature. According to the article, the rate of increase in surface temperature per decade has doubled since 1981.

[kaia heslin @kaiahstats]

I would say that the NOAA is a reliable source of information regarding the climate and Earth. Additionally, the references in this article include sources reliable resources like the International Panel on Climate Change, the US government, and more from NOAA.
