This week I continued my exploration of obesity in America as this is a topic I care a lot about as someone who struggled with health and nutrition in the past.
Closing Notes: The hardest part of this week was probably finding cleaned up and recent data to work with. Since ArcGIS Storymaps isn't as powerful for data analysis as something like Tableau (mainly presentation than anything), it was important to find data that was already usable to present my findings. I could also clean up the data myself but it was time consuming (however it might be something I will pursue for the final project when I get more time to work with the tools).
Random thought: When I first used ArcGIS Storymaps, my initial impression was that it's very similar to Notion (task management software that's really powerful) but has more data centric features.
