When Weather Turns Deadly: Climate Change, Infant Health, and Women’s Safety

Series: Her Equation

Climate change isn’t just about hotter summers and rising seas — it touches the most vulnerable parts of our lives. My research explores how climate stressors like pollution and extreme weather events affect infant mortality rates (IMR) in the United States, and how these pressures connect to gender-based violence (GBV). The findings show that climate change is not just an environmental crisis, but also a public health and equity crisis.

Introduction

Series: Her Equation

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been drawn to how numbers reflect real lives. Behind every dataset, there’s a story — of people, communities, and the systems that shape them. Her Equation was born from that belief: that data, equity, and sustainability are deeply connected, and that numbers can give voice to issues that often go unseen. This series is my space to bridge what I’ve learned in economics and data science with the causes that matter most to me — gender equity, sustainability, and social justice.

Exploring Racial Disparities in Student Loan Debt

Throughout this analysis, we will leverage the capabilities of R to explore and visualize the data, aiming to uncover patterns and trends related to student loan debt among different racial groups.
