Changing it up

After careful consideration, I decided to change the focus of my text analysis semester project. The decision is two-part, first I do not feel the data from my Jamaica project contains enough text to engage in the type of analysis asked from this class. Secondly, I recently accepted a research assistant position which includes a text analysis component. For now, the project specifics are somewhat vague. What is clear is that part of my responsibilities will be examining E. Coli references in local, regional, and national papers. The project is a proof of concept funded by the University of Florida as part of its “Moonshot” grants. As part of my work this week I have begun the process of collecting articles. My intent is to finish the collection process today and begin analyzing. I recognize this shift has put me slightly behind where I would like to be at this point in the semester and I will use that as motivation over the next week.
