Articles I Could Potentially Edit
[edit]- The tinkerbell effect is an article about how people are able to believe in things without concrete evidence. It is a very short stub article, but it has a lot of sources.
- occupational hearing loss is a short stub article with only a few sources, but I feel like there is a lot to be said in this article. I could add information about the most common causes for occupational hearing loss, and give historical examples of when this has happened.
- I am including two articles in this section because I feel like they are very similar. The first article is about cancer fighting cells, the second is about c-glycosyl tryptophan. Both are short stub articles with few references.
New Developments About the Articles
[edit]At this point I think I am leaning towards the occupational hearing loss article. I just feel like there are so many different directions I could take with this article. This might serve as a challenge, but it also gives me a lot of freedom to look into what I am interested in. There are a lot of reputable, independent sources online. I like the idea of delving into the specifics of occupational hearing loss, including what jobs are the worst offenders, how it develops, what the symptoms and long term effects are, and any treatments or precautionary actions that workers can take.
Final Decision
[edit]I would like to edit the article on occupational hearing loss. I feel like there are a lot of good sources out there and I could do a lot with the subject.
Changing it Up (My Article Choice)
[edit]Another student has chosen the topic of occupational hearing loss. We could work on this article together, but I think I would prefer to just switch my topic. After searching in the biology section of Wiki Projects I decided on the topic of DNA banking. It is a short article so I would have a lot to talk about. The number of credible sources are not vast, but if you know what to look for there's more out there than you'd think. I'm considering touching on things like why we use DNA (link), what methods are used to collect and test it, reasons for which it is used (preventative genetics, endangered animal protection, criminology), pros and cons of its use, and potential safeguards and standards that may be used to regulate DNA banking. I would probably make separate sections out of some of these topics.
Final Decision (Take 2)
[edit]I would like to research and write about DNA banking.
