As my final project for that same Digital Communication class I'm taking, I decided to make a Google Earth map of the studies we've looked at demonstrated vaccine freezing in transport and storage in the cold chain. I've been wrapped up with MCAT studying, so I keep forgetting to bring it up during our meetings, so thought I would link it here for our whole community to see!
What better way to get a grasp on what data is out there than map it out?
Concept: Since many of the reports are from developing countries, and are of variable quality, it is important to focus on peer-reviewed studies and technical reports from trusted organizations like USAID. Each marker on the map will be accompanied by a link to the study, an abstract if available, and important findings (percentage of freezing in transport/in storage, unit of analysis). I want to have a clean format so that the
information doesn’t overwhelm the audience. I think this project is very important to researchers, policy-makers, and even the public because it will demonstrate what parts of the world may be neglected. In addition, it will empower the audience to readily access the research in one window rather than navigating Pubmed or relying on media reports.
Here it is so far!
