Assessing the effectiveness of the CHOW mobile grocery store in Broome County in increasing fruit and vegetable consumption
Get PDFAccess to healthy food is known to be important to maintaining good health. With obesity on the rise in America, this is even more important. Recently mobile market stores have been used to increase access to healthy foods in many underserved communities that are considered food deserts. The purpose of this study is to research and evaluate if there is a significant increase in the consumption of fruits and vegetables in Broome County communities where access to mobile markets is available. To address this, I conducted interviews with volunteers who worked on the mobile market in order to gauge if the mobile market produced any changes in eating behaviors or food choices. I believe the results will show that, after shopping at the mobile market, fruit and vegetable consumption increased and people were more aware of healthy eating and buying habits. However access to foods may not be enough, increasing community awareness and engagement by providing nutrition education, taste testing, and seasonal recipes may be helpful in increasing healthfully minded behaviors. This study emphasizes the importance of increased food access in food deserts and underserved communities. The use of a mobile market is a convenient way to do so and its mobility allows it to help more people in need. Towns and cities should consider implementing mobile markets into their communities
Researching Broome County farmers\u27 markets in the COVID-19 pandemic
Get PDFThe value of farmers markets has been shown through their contribution to community building by providing consumers with local food and giving farmers direct access to consumers. The direct connection between farmers and consumers can only be found at places like farmers markets. Having values such as the interaction between farmers and consumers and supporting locally grown food makes farmers markets important to their communities. However, the impact of farmers markets in their communities during the COVID-19 pandemic is unclear. By conducting interviews with people closely involved in farmers markets, I aim to find out how farmers markets in the Broome County area have been affected. These interviews will consist of questions targeting the atmosphere of farmers markets before and after the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. Through interviews with public officials, vendors, and market organizers I aim to collect views on the markets from people involved before and during the pandemic to analyze its effects. Findings could range from a noticeable decrease of people involved with farmers markets around the time the pandemic began to continued or increased involvement in farmers markets. Reasons why consumers and vendors felt safe or unsafe at farmers markets, as well as if they felt motivated to attend or not, will be explored to better understand the place of farmers markets in the community and how direct connections have either been valued or discontinued as a result of the pandemic

Its top does not have the three points at equal height, which gives it the look of a fox face. Image 2 of 2https://orb.binghamton.edu/mathematical_sculptures/1609/thumbnail.jp
Whipping up an Online Research Profile: How to Promote & Manage Your Research for Improved Science Communication
Get PDFCreating and sustaining an online research profile can serve as an effective strategy for promoting and sharing one’s own work, finding and connecting with other researchers that have complementary research interests, and increasing the visibility and potential impact of one’s own research to the public overall. This workshop will introduce and discuss both new and traditional online research profile tools, such as ORCiD, Publons, Academia.edu, Twitter, etc., and will provide participants with a hands-on opportunity to work with these tools in small groups
Demigods and Gender Roles: Non-Heteronormative Gender Expressions and the Works of Rick Riordan
Get PDFGender serves as a powerful ideology to systematically oppress minorities, such as women and people within the LGBTQ+ community. This ideology is learned at a young age through media such as fantasy literature. By analyzing several fantasy texts through a lens of gender politics, I track the history of gender in the fantasy genre and posit that inclusive works such as those of Rick Riordan influence children and adolescents to become more accepting of sexual and gender minorities
