[Week 3: Feb. 17-21]

Hey guys, here's an update on what's been happening on my end of things. 

My week's been pretty average, and a bit heavy on the note-taking side. I didn't have much time to meet with my advisor. I'm still working on content analysis of Harvey Fineberg's talks, and I've started cataloging related videos and drafting a research questionnaire that'll be used to try to quantify where Dr. Fineberg stands on certain medical science-related issues such as patient efficacy to obtain health literacy. 

Most of the readings I've been doing have been familiarizing me with the big wigs in medical-science education: 

• The American Academy of Arts & Sciences' Science and the Educated American: A Core Component of Liberal Education (2010)
  
• The National Academies Press' A Framework for K-12 Science Education: Practices, Crosscutting Concepts, and Core Ideas (2012)
  
•  Abraham Flexer whose report was instrumental in moving medical science off of undergraduate campuses

 and have been helping me get a context for the basis of my project.

Hope you guys have had a good week and a relaxing weekend!
