3. Christina Zdenek Christina Zdenek’s 5 Step process to writing this paper Step 3: Make Visual Representations of Data Step 4: Do plenty of research, using reliable sources Step 5: Bring it all together in a clear, well organized, and well written 15 pg. paper Step 1: Find what you’re interested in and form a hypothesis Step 2: Do crosstabs, checking strength of correlations, and examine alternatives

4. Christina Zdenek Hypothesis General: the better a culture’s nutrition, the better immune function its people will have  Resulting in less pathogen stress Specific: a higher consumption of fish as a local food supply in a society will result in less pathogen stress  conversely, a higher consumption of animal husbandry will result in more pathogen stress S t e p 1

8. Christina Zdenek Research Why are these variables correlated in such a way? S t e p 4 So far, research has led to an understanding of disease distribution that is mainly affected by region (distribution of vectors), and secondly affected by diet and nutrition.  There is a lot information about how nutrition affects immune function among people in general (i.e. how fish oils and omega-3 fatty acids promote good immunity in the body), but NOT how different society’s nutritional status relates to their pathogen stress. Key websites for my topic: CDC (a reliable dot-gov site) WHO (a reputable world org.) Ex. “Most forms of leishmaniasis are originally infections of small mammals (‘reservoir hosts’), which play a major role in the epidemiology of the disease” - TDR
