We would love to express our sincere gratitude to Mrs. Jamie Clapper, who has helped us to complete our project, and helped out with her suggestions. Without her honest feedback, we wouldn't have gone anywhere. Mr. Todd Munoz has also helped us and taught us everything we know about the amazing world of science! A special thanks to Mr. Jose Ignacio for helping us with our registration and helping us get our project done. Our parents also played a major role, helping us test our model and guiding us throughout the way. We also would like to thank Moses West, who created the original model and gave us inspiration for our project. Without you all, we couldn't have got this far!

We would like to thank the following scientists for their help, inspiration, and guidance!

Charlie Zender-Prof. UCI Earth System Science

Dr. Hannah Lui Park-Prof. UCI Pathology/Epidemiology

We would also like to acknowledge these professionals for their interviews and first-hand insight!
