Researched the NHS understaffing crisis and produced a report, highlighting systemic causes (pollution, deprivation, workforce burnout) and propose innovative solutions. Data synthesised across policy reports and socioeconomic research.2. Ranked 6 variables (like cost, urgency, scale of impact) to compare 6 global biological issues (like the spread of microplastics, ocean acidification and rabies infections) and concluded that air pollution is the most urgent threat.3. Wrote \"Climate Change - An Inquiry into Its Urgency and Destructive Levels\", a short research paper that analysed scale of impact in climate change by linking Arctic amplification, polar bear extinction risk, phytoplankton collapse, and global food insecurity. I mostly considered one impact from the previous task:\"The Scale of Impact - will it cause extinction of a certain species? Will it affect just humans or animals and other forms of wildlife?\"4. Designed a research plan:\"Can climate- targeted food aid reduce food insecurity in severely impacted regions (like Ethiopia, a region of Sub-Saharan Africa) within a year?\" I planned for randomised control groups, monthly household surveys, t-test for statistical significance (hypotheses written only), and proposed fortnightly seed and water purification interventions. Lastly, I reflected on my plan limitations like delayed aid delivery or community rejection.
