Day 5

Day 5 started with another Teams meeting. In the meeting, I shared with Dr. Summerville the information I found on raw data and for-profit milk banks. For the milk banks, I found two banks under the company Prolacta Bioscience. These banks sell human milk to hospitals and also pay mothers who donate. The company researches and develops human milk-based nutritional products that would not be possible with a non-profit business model. In terms of raw data, I could not find any of the CSV files as all the papers only had tables and graphs which are considered summaries and are too simplified to actually do any data analysis on them. My assignment was to find raw data on the differences of the nutritional value of formula versus human milk. I also needed to find how much the for-profit milk banks make.
