I seek to conduct a single-method research project that utilizes the geography of cannabis license types of local Humboldt license holders. I will use descriptive statistics to define raw data from the state of California and focus on Humboldt County’s cannabis license types by coding the information and creating graphs to clarify information further. Once I have defined the current information available, I will focus on absent geographic information. The revealed absences will be investigated through case analysis, comparing previous local Humboldt licensed holders' data to the most current ones. The data collected from this research will be coded and identifying information will be changed to protect individuals. Data collected and stored electronically will be encrypted. The study's overall goal is to contribute to informing policy decisions and understanding the impacts on the communities within Humboldt while recording the ongoing consequences of legalization regulations.

One of the many topics that are under-researched in transgender medicine includes the effects of hormone therapy on individuals who are still physically developing. It is understood that the sex hormones estrogen and testosterone contribute greatly to the development of all individuals. Due to the importance that estrogen and testosterone have on bone health, research into the impact of hormone therapy on the development of the skeleton in transgender individuals is crucial to the forensic anthropologist to further expand the data pertaining to human variation that is applied to the identification of unknown decedents. The clavicle in particular is an excellent tool for estimating an individual’s age at death, stature, and sex assigned at birth because it continues to grow at a consistent rate until epiphyseal fusion occurs in the late twenties. Due to the clavicle not fusing for such a long period of time, there is the potential for significant bone remodeling and growth far past the typical age of puberty (Hughes et al. 2020). There is also the potential for outside factors to disrupt or change the natural growth pattern of the clavicle at any point in time before fusion. With both of these factors in mind, it can be hypothesized that the introduction of cross-sex hormones before the age of medial epiphyseal clavicular fusion may potentially influence the growth patterns of the clavicle to align more closely with the gender one is transitioning to.

Transphobia is everywhere and inescapable in the current western society. Everyday there are new narratives portraying trans people as unnormal and sometimes even as evil. Despite these narratives being disproven with a quick google search they are widely accepted by society leading to a great deal of internalized transphobia as well as countless other issues for the trans community. Over this review will provide a one stop shop for disproving the most common anti trans messages seen and heard today. Gender affirming care being harmful to children when in reality it is proven to prevent suicide. Trans individuals being violent when they are in fact less like to commit acts of violence then non trans individuals. Trans people being label as “groomers” when they are far less likely to commit act of sexual crimes then non trans people. The newer claim of how the trans movement is a way of sterilizing people with autism and why that is such a harmful and dangerous narrative.

Corporate social responsibility (CSR), whether voluntary or imposed, is not a novel concept. Early manifestations included the redress of egregious labor practices; and subsequent to those were the enactment of environmental protections. As scientific data continues to indicate anthropogenic global warming as possibly the greatest existential threat to humanity, corporations, as major contributors of greenhouse gases, face mounting pressures from multiple sectors of society (activists, politicians, governments, consumers, shareholders, etc.) to assume their share of the responsibility. In the past, very seldom has the acceptance of these responsibilities been voluntary. They are often viewed as anathema and antithetical to the neoclassical economic model, detracting from the fiduciary duties of increasing shareholder value. The popular notion promoted by corporate social agents, that "companies which do good can also do well,” continues to receive tremendous criticism as a deviation from core business objectives, and therefore creates dissonance in many companies' attempts to satisfy all stakeholders. This research is a longitudinal textual analysis of corporate reporting. It compares several prominent Fortune 1000 companies and explores how these organizations engage in CSR impression management (marketing), specific to environmental concerns, and whether their messaging and its implementation align, remain consistent, or alter over time. If the marketplace is the reflection of the demands of a society and, as such, responds to changes in the demands placed upon it, this study hopes to expand on how business contributes to society and how society influences business.
