About NAFWA (My first mission statement-unchanged)

As an undergraduate student majoring in nutrition, I would use the web to find information for my many projects I was assigned. However, I found it quite frustrating because I was not very web savvy at the time and rarely could find content-specific information. Websites seemed to just cover a broad range of topics, but failed to go to the depth that I needed. Paying for a premium service was also out of the question because I had little money and several school expenses to cover.

Once I entered graduate school the web replaced my books and became my main source of information for class-work and projects. At this level of education, I soon realized that the need for content-specific information was essential. I needed to get to it fast and needed it to be organized.

As my web skills improved, I started to stumble upon some really useful websites and began building a collection. I also started to keep track of the projects and assignments I had done in the past for my classes. What I found was a hefty pile in My Documents folder of things I forgot about completely, but later became useful with some of the new projects or jobs I had done.

What caused me to develop the Nutrition and Food Web Archive (NAFWA) was my willingness to help others and to provide useful and scientifically-relevant resources in one place. I wanted to develop a community environment where individuals who share the same interest can find information and share resources.

Nutrition is a very demanding field and our job roles are not always clearly defined. We must use sound judgment and relay messages that are scientifically valid to a population that may not have the background we have.

Maintaining these standards is essential for others to view our profession as a respectable one and to keep it respectable within itself.

A Story I wrote while watching birds. Probably in 2nd draft mode… below

Understanding Birds

I am used to living in a place where trees are rampant. Now I live in Boston and discovered something interesting the other day. I was on my back porch staring out the window when I see a line of toilet paper being flown and stuffed inside the area above. Being from Maine, I knew that birds were building a home. I found this so funny. Funny that birds in Boston are building nests with used toilet paper and cigarette butts instead of mother nature’s materials.

Since it was funny, I generally developed an interest in the birds. I continued to observe them; noticing their movements, actions, and habits and them noticing mine. We shared staring contests at times, but I always let them go about their business.

The other night, it was raining and approaching dusk, so the birds were taking cover in their home. I was bored, so I decided I wanted to try and understand the birds situation. I took my broom and lightly tapped the space above where the birds nest. Suddenly I see a tiny head looking violently around. It spots me and darts to the porch railing directly across my window. The bird was looking north, south, east, west…but mostly at me. I make no move, nor did the bird. We obviously were both thinking what each other was thinking. Finally the bird gave up and flies into its home again.

Conclusion:

The bird trusts me. It has lived in the space above for however long and really has no other place to go. They are not in Maine where the trees are rampant like the bricks are here in Boston. I find it comforting. Being that I live above my landlords, I am always making sure I am extra quiet. It is nice to know that I can now feel how loud I really am. Since I now live below someone, I always have the choice to evict them if they are too noisy. ———————–
