ResearchMethods: Piling on the data

Posted on April 4, 2016 by Erica

The next step for my research methods poster is to figure out how to add in the richness of the dataset and a sense of context/importance of the topic for global issues. To do this, I really wanted to get into granular data about land use and soil degradation, rather than sticking with the simple…

ResearchMethods: Settling on a story line

Posted on March 23, 2016 by Erica

This semester has been a busy one, and the weeks are getting away from me! There’s a lot to talk about, so I’m going to break it up into a few posts. Here, I’d like to catch up on the first couple of drafts of my soil poster for my research methods class. The point…

My research methods class is doing a semester-long project on the origins and implications of an object of our choosing. I decided to work with soil, as I wrote about before. After doing the “object autopsy” from my previous post, I went to the scientific literature and started looking deeper into what goes into making healthy soils, and…
