This week in ISM was a bit slower than usual, but I was still able to be very productive and make progress towards my Final Product. I continued to polish up my data and compile everything in Google Sheets and then Excel, and now I have the opportunity to create visuals of my data and findings since these software platforms have those capabilities. However, I still don't know how to efficiently to do this, so for the upcoming week I plan on watching many videos and tutorials on how to create graphs and data charts using these programs.
Additionally, I was able to reach out to other professionals for possible research interviews. Unfortunately, the scientist who responded to me was unable to have an interview as her field of study was a bit different from mine, but she did give me other people as possible contacts. I have also reached out to these professionals asking for a research interview, but as of now I haven't received any responses.
For the next week in ISM, I want to learn how to thoroughly create graphs and charts in Excel and Sheets, and then to actually create those graphs. Additionally, I want to contact more professionals in the hope of getting some research interviews.
