My day gets pretty hectic and it isn’t just about this research project. I actually have 3 jobs, as well as part of ALMA Core (Assisting Latinx Students to Maximize Achievement) to help plan an orientation for incoming Latinx students. I usually wake up to do my first job as a Summer Conference Assistant at…
Category: Blog Posts
Here are some suggestions on how to write an effective blog:
– This is not an essay or scientific paper! Use first person, contractions- your own personal voice. While you want to use proper spelling and grammar, don’t feel like you need to confine yourself to the standard essay format you’re used to in other classes.
– Use links. If you reference an interesting magazine article, link it in your blog. If you want to show a relevant youtube clip, go ahead and include it in your post. http://writetodone.com/new-style-blog-writing/
– Use pictures when relevant. They make your post more visually appealing and interesting to read.
– If you prefer to create a podcast or video, feel free to do so. If you have any really creative ideas you want to try, let me know and we can discuss it.
– Please be respectful in your posts and comments. Do not use any offensive or derogatory language.
– While there is no word count for written blog posts, please make sure your posts are insightful and contain all the necessary information. For those of you who aren’t sure where to start, 250-500 words is a good range to follow.

A Day in the Life
A day in the life of Me is not exactly intriguing or exciting. I don’t work in an office or in a lab, so when I wake up on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and the occasional Saturday (the days I do research when I’m not at my other job), I think about where I want to…
A Day in the Life of Me as A Researcher!
Okay, hi y’all. So unfortunately my research days aren’t too interesting and I don’t have pictures of my own, so relying on stuff from the internet again. I do get sleep though (which is a scarce resource over the school year, so I’m thrilled this summer), cause I wake up at around 8:30 am, get…
A Day in the Life of a WAGSFP Research Fellow
[su_heading size=”19″ margin=”60″]Please enjoy this slideshow of a typical day in my life as a WAGSFP research fellow.[/su_heading] [su_slider source=”media: 2189,2181,2174,2179,2180,2175,2187,2185,2183,2186,2178,2176″ mousewheel=”no” autoplay=”6000″]
The Wednesday of a WAGSFP Fellow
The best part of my research is that i can do it anywhere. So on this beautiful (jk I hate the rain) Wednesday, I need to do around 3.5 hours of research, plus our seminar. My day kicks off to an early start because my wonderful neighbor is remodeling their house and wow it’s loud…
A Day in the Life…
Good morning everyone! Although it’s been a bit of an unusual week (just in time for the “day in the life” post, of course), I’ve come up with a model day of my work at my lab, including some pictures and videos. Most of the videos don’t have interesting sound because I don’t want to…
A Day in the Life
I’ve chosen to walk you through a typical day of work using photos, as I’m not sure any particular aspect of my day would make an interesting video. My research is independent and portable, and basically just involves me sitting alone somewhere researching and coding on my laptop. My day almost always begins at my…

Reading Reflection: Health Equity in Brazil
I just finished reading the book Health Equity in Brazil: Intersections of Gender, Race, and Policy by Kia Lilly Caldwell. The book walks readers through a history of women’s health campaigns in Brazil starting from the early 80s until recent years. Despite Brazil being home to the second largest African-descendent population outside of Africa, the country has…
Overlooked History
As part of my research I have to work with hundreds of historical documents and they each represent a piece of an individual woman’s narrative. These women have lived through unique experiences but shared many of the same hardships. Through such struggles, they are connected to each other and when displayed together, they paint a…
