Today we began our main research into what the effects of introducing the chemical permethrin into sub-Saharan Africa would be. We split off into groups to spread out the research, with me focusing on the direct and indirect effects of permethrin on humans specifically. Other groups focused on environmental and ecological impacts, and another group focused on how specific regions would be affected. Together as a team we learned to collaborate in the most effective way possible to get the research done in the most efficient way. We also have to practice good researching and note taking skills since we will be using our data to create a presentation to Mr. Self on the effects of permethrin, so that we can see how much safer the non-permethrin treated clothing is. I look forward to doing more research tomorrow and starting the first potential draft of the presentation!
