Day 4: Vector Textiles Environmental Modeling, Final Wrap-up Research

Today was mainly focused on finishing up all of our research. We continued to investigate the indirect effects of Permethrin on humans, and looked into how each region in sub-Saharan Africa would be affected. It was no surprise that we concluded that areas with more water, such as the rainforest areas in Africa and  the Rift Valley areas, would yield the most damaging effects if large amounts of Permethrin were introduced there. The main skill I took away from this week so far is how to collaborate in a team to maximize the amount of work that can be done. With such a large question needing to be answered, it would have been impossible to come to an answer if we hadn’t split off into separate research groups. This is certainly a skill that can be used in other jobs and areas of life.
