NAME: Fact Checking the EPA
DESCRIPTION: Recently, the EPA has rolled back several air pollution regulations, justifying their actions by stating that doing so will not negatively impact the environment and will actually bolster the economic viability of fossil fuel industries. The objective of this project is to see whether the EPA rollback regulations are having their intended effects. The final product of this project is to create a policy proposal that recommends a course of action on whether to revise or maintain the current environmental policies.

NAME: Inequalities Projects
DESCRIPTION: The Inequalities Projects is focused on food security, education, and mental health.
The education project strives to understand how the lack of access to e-learning and school-provided meals effected under-resourced populations during the pandemic. The food insecurity project intends to create visualizations and write articles to inform the mass public as well as nonprofit food entities on how food insecurity has been impacted by the aftereffects of COVID. The mental health project looks at the correlation of COVID-19 and the impacts it has on an individual’s mental health and seeks to build off of that by focusing on vulnerable households.

NAME: Mental Health
DESCRIPTION: The Mental Health Project hopes to uncover the relationship between COVID-19 and mental health by analyzing data and creating informative, user-friendly, visuals and infographics. Then, by reaching out to small and larger-scale organizations (that are willing to spread the news about Mental Health during the pandemic), we will try to publish the visuals made.
The Mental Health projects are pretty much open to anyone who wants to join the cause, whether they have skills with external affairs (such as outreach, primarily to find partnerships and organizations for publication) or data visualization (this would entail collecting the data and making infographics/visualizing the data).

NAME: Analyzing Data of SARS-CoV-2 Serology Antibody (IgG) Tests
DESCRIPTION: The purpose is to analyze results and data of SARS-CoV-2 Serology Antibody (IgG) tests and relate these data to factors such as sex, age, blood type, ethnicity, etc. The end goal of this project is to create visualizations and analysis of this data and try to use it to recommend a prioritization of vaccinations to recovered patients based on the information once a vaccine is available for the general public.
PROJECT LEAD(S): Oriel Savir & Zoë Zizzo
