In week 2 you will prepare for your scientific and mathematical inquiry paper. For the discussion post you will follow my outline but fill in the content you will include for each section using the fillable document template. In the Evidence of Connection section, you will need to make the link between your injustice and medical condition. In the three Medical Condition sections you need to elaborate on three medical conditions that falls under the medical condition in your research question and elaborate on how it effects your population. In the economic burden section, you will need to compressively discuss the impact your injustice has on the economy. For your peer responses I would like you to help your classmates find 2 scholarly sources for their topics and give them some suggestions on content they can add to make their paper more comprehensive.

Evidence of connection: Decline in Bee populations and chronic disease

• Bees are responsible for providing pollination services to crops
• Their populations have been in decline for several decades 
• Without bees there would be significantly less produce
• Produce provides micronutrients that are active in pathways that prevent disease

Medical condition one: Cardiovascular disease

• Define CVD
• Significant evidence exists that a diet high in produce that is dependent on pollination decrease CVD risk

Medical condition two: Diabetes

• Define diabetes
• Significant evidence exists that a diet high in produce that is dependent on pollination decrease DM risk

Medical condition three: Stroke

• Define stroke

• Significant evidence exists that a diet high in produce that is dependent on pollination decrease stroke risk

Economic burden

• Health care cost
• CVD
• DM
• Stroke
• Agriculture
• Production of produce for human consumption
• Production of produce and crops for animal feed
• Production of honey
