Reproductive Health

Posted by Kai Lambert in Biology of the Human Body · Aziz · C on Thursday, May 24, 2018 at 7:23 am

 

Our PSA on reproductive health consists of general facts about the public health topic on several different issues pertaining to it. These issues revolve around the lack of coverage women ge for reproductive health under healthcare, the outside factors that are trying to strip away the few rights women have to reproductive treatment, the lack of awareness and teaching, and what clinics are doing to help provide women when it comes to reproductive health. We chose this topic as a group because we are all women and it is something that affects us right now under an administration with policies and politics that are attacking our reproductive healthcare rights. We live in a time where we have to fight harder to protect those rights which is why we chose this topic. It personally relates to us and we wanted to spread awareness.


I helped with the project by doing preliminary research and creating questions for the interview as well as conducting the interview myself. When I reflect back on what I did well, I would say that I did well helping to come up with good questions that would prompt concise and insightful information. I could have begun some things earlier in the process if I am being completely honest. The most meaningful part of the experience of creating the PSA was learning more about a topic that affects me so personally especially someone of my ethnicity and socio-economic standing. Due to the factors that inhibit reproductive healthcare such as politics and religious overbearings targeting reproductive health clinics, biased funding, and false research, reproductive health is a huge topic because it affects everyone and it barely being covered by our healthcare plan.

Science Leadership Academy Middle School Mentorship Program w/Faithe Ben

Posted by Kai Lambert in Senior Capstone · Schaar · ILP/TFI/CAP on Friday, May 18, 2018 at 9:48 pm
Capstone Presentation
This is a 6-month long program meant to reach out to the SLA Middle School students and help them acclimate to the core values and the expectations that come along with going to an SLA school. We would be helping them with social issues that come along with being older and working with other students, which is encouraged by our collaboration value and aiding them with any academic issues they may come across. Essentially, the mentors would be playing a big brother/big sister role and working to help improve relations with the mentees throughout the program. This program will help build ties with our sister school and also teach them how they, too, can help the community around them. I choose to continue this program because I have 3 younger sisters and several cousins, so I am very involved in helping them with troubles they may face in school, with classwork, or with people. I wanted to extend this to kids in the SLA community that had no one else to help them. This program helped to make kids who weren´t comfortable talking to other kids, comfortable and willing to engage with their classmates. This program helped to encourage kids to try their best even if they fail a couple of times before they make it. This program was created to give the rising students of the SLA community a place to go and feel like themselves, to be guided, to be listened to, to create bonds.

Reflection:

I learned a lot about how ALS can target the motor neurons in the brain and completely affect the way the body achieves homeostasis as a result. I wonder why it has been so difficult to find effective treatment and even a cure for ALS and how researchers are pushing the limits of our technology and knowledge in search of one.
