This project analyzes the effects of county population size and race on triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) case fatality rates. The years 2010 and 2015 were used to examine whether the Affordable Care Act also influenced racial disparities among TNBC case fatality rates. Results demonstrated no significant difference in county size or race in 2010; but in 2015, although there was an overall decline in case fatality rates in both White and Black women, Black women experienced significantly higher fatality rates across county sizes, indicating widening disparities.

Previous studies conducted by our research group indicate that Hispanics in smaller counties had higher prostate cancer fatality rates in 2018. This research builds on our previous studies by analyzing whether identifying with a specific racial subgroup and county size impacts prostate cancer outcomes. We concluded that while there was no significant difference between prostate cancer fatality rates and racial identification and population size, the low percentage of Hispanic men identifying as Hispanic Black in our dataset demonstrates the need for further investigating on how Hispanics choose racial identification along with how counties affect such identification.

This project examined housing affordability in Winter Park, Florida, with a focus on the barriers first-time homebuyers face in today's market. I analyzed local housing and income data and compared Winter Park's policies with Portland, Oregon's accessory dwelling unit reforms to evaluate a possible supply-side solution. The project concluded that reducing barriers to ADU development could help expand housing options and improve affordability.

In this project, I analyze rental housing affordability in Orlando, where a significant percentage of renters face challenges accessing housing. After calculating the gap between affordable costs and actual prices, I identify how population growth is outpacing the housing supply. To support my community, I propose long-term solutions, such as zoning reform, to improve housing access and affordability.

As future nursing students we find this topic to be interesting and important, as cardiovascular defects can lead to a variety of health issues.

Our collaborative assignment on cell structure and membrane function had us work through a series of lab-style experiments that required shared problem-solving and clear communication. Working together helped us compare observations, refine our methods, and understand how different components of the cell and membrane behave under changing conditions. In the end, we took away not only a deeper understanding of the biology itself but also how effective teamwork can strengthen accuracy, confidence, and overall learning.
