1. What did you do over the break with your senior project?
Over my winter break I did a lot of research for my senior project. While researching about my topic and my EQ I found a video about Dr. Andrew Wakefield. I decided to post that as my additional blog because I found it so interesting how he believes that there is a link between autism and vaccines. Nothing or no one could tell him otherwise. I also volunteered at my pediatric clinic during my winter break. I talked with my mentor about some of the questions that I had about and I also showed her my mentorship log and explained it to her. She told me it was neat seeing that my school would assign us something like that.
2. What was the most important thing you learned from what you did, and why? What was the source of what you learned?
The most important thing I learned from what I did over my winter break was the video that I saw on Dr. Andrew Wakefield. It was so interesting watching this doctor talk to the public on how autism is caused because of vaccines. Dr. Wakefield was so sure about what he was saying that no one was able to put some common sense into him. Scientists and researchers have so much data discussing about how there is absolutely no link and Dr. Wakefield still says he believes that there is.
3. If you were going to do a 10 question interview on questions related to answers for your EQ, who would you talk to and why?
I talked with my mentor about this question and I asked her who would she recommend and she recommended me another doctor that works at the same clinic just on different days. His name is Dr. Hung. He goes in on Wednesdays and Thursday. I would like to talk to interview him because my mentor recommended him and also because he's a doctor at the same place I volunteer at so he's known me for a while and have seen what I do as a volunteer there.
