Hey @erinfox426, do you have the other reading notes, if so please let me know!!!!!

Prepare Notes

Outline your response to the prompt in the box below. Then, write a few questions to ask your peers to better understand their environmental outlooks.

I bring a variety of experiences, attitudes, and perspectives when considering environmental science issues. Firstly, my experiences living in both rural and urban environments have given me the opportunity to see firsthand the various environmental challenges faced by different communities. Additionally, I have been fortunate enough to have the opportunity to travel and see the impacts of environmental issues on a global scale. These experiences have fostered within me a deep appreciation and respect for the natural world and a desire to protect it.

In terms of attitudes, I am strongly motivated by a sense of social and environmental justice. I believe that it is our responsibility to be stewards of the planet and to ensure that future generations have the opportunity to enjoy a healthy and sustainable environment. I also believe that addressing environmental issues requires a holistic and intersectional approach, considering the impacts on both human and non-human communities.

As for perspectives, I approach environmental science issues with a scientific mindset, valuing evidence-based decision making and a willingness to consider multiple viewpoints. However, I also recognize the importance of incorporating indigenous knowledge and the perspectives of marginalized communities into the conversation.

Questions for Peers:

What experiences have you had that have shaped your environmental outlook?

What values do you prioritize when considering environmental science issues?

How do you approach environmental issues from a scientific perspective?

How do you incorporate the perspectives of marginalized communities into your understanding of environmental science issues?

Using this article answer the following questions:

1. When you first started reading the article, what were your thoughts?

When answering the question, consider the following: (1) what information were the authors presenting, (2) how were they presenting the information, (3) was this information you already knew or were you learning something new?

2. Once you were halfway through the article, did any of the thoughts you had in your answer to question 1 change?

If they did change, what did they change to? Explain why they changed.

If they didn't change, explain why not.

3. Once you finished reading the article, were your thoughts any different than what you answered in question 1 and/or question 2?

If they were different, explain how they changed and why.

If they are not different, explain why they didn't change.

4. What do the authors suggest at the end of the article, after presenting all the information they did on aspirin and NSAIDs?

After you realize what they are doing at the end of the article, does it change your opinion on the information they presented throughout the article? Do you think they were totally honest with what they presented and how they presented it (did you go an read the references they cited to check up on what they presented)? Could they have possibly presented things in such a way so that your opinion of aspirin was negative and you would be more inclined to agree with their alternative?

Got this question during an interview - Without putting a camera inside the fridge. How would you check to see if the light turns off when you close the door.

I found this one answer on the internet -put a thermometer on the bulb and leave the door shut for 10 minutes. Then open the door and check the thermometer immediately. If it is cold, then you know the bulb was off when the door was closed.

Are there any other answers or the one listed above is the only answer.

Didn't know what category to choose so I selected science.
