The Importance of Health & Medicine in Outer Space ;)

Hello, all, and welcome to my blog! If you have not stayed tuned, this is a course called Frontiers, and sadly, this is 1/2 last blog posts that I will be publishing as a GCE student, but let's not get into that just yet. Frontiers is an awesome course where we discussed the importance of the sea and outer space. I enjoyed the content of this course as astronomy as well as oceanology happens to be a few of the topics that bring out my inner geek. However, let's get into this Action Project!

The mission of this AP was to create a poster based on one of Space & Technology Grand Challenges. I chose to create a poster on Space Health & Medicine because I found out some interesting facts on the topic while researching and I thought that I should share it. So, please click the poster below to view more details about Space Health & Medicine 👇

Like I mentioned before, this is the very last blog post that I will be publishing as a GCE student as I will be graduating in exactly one week. Even though I have not attended this school long, I would just like to give a quick shoutout to the Frontiers instructor! I will always be grateful for the content that has been provided to me as well as the remainder of my senior class. Thank you :)

Grand Challenge #3: "Understanding the Impact of Global Change on Marine Ecosystems."

Hello, all, and welcome to a course called Frontiers! In this course, we discuss the three specific frontiers of scientific understanding which include our seas, our universe, and our current advancements in technology. As of the last month, we have been learning about the importance of regulating populations, ocean acidification, marine technologies, and most importantly, humans and our impact on marine life. From all of the information that we gathered, the one thing that stuck with me is the topic of coral reefs. I will be expanding more on coral reefs in my paper, but until then, let's get into the Action Project! The mission of our AP is to write a research paper on one of the Grand Challenges. The Challenge that I wrote about is Grand Challenge #3: "Understanding the Impact of Global Change on Marine Ecosystems." I decided to do so because I find the subject very important, not only in marine ecosystems but in human ecosystems as well. So, check it out below for more details 👇
