Welcome!!

Hi! My name is Justin Becker and welcome to my new blog! I am new to the whole world of blogging so this will be a new and interesting experience for me. I am going into my senior year at the University of Pittsburgh where I am studying Bioengineering and am pursing a minor in Chemistry. During the next six weeks, I will be using this blog to keep track of my research project for Writing for the Public. As of right now, I believe I will conducting research on medical amnesty laws and their effects on college campuses across the United States of America. I chose the Blogspot platform because I felt it was the easiest to access. The website URL is quite easy to remember: justinbecker.blogspot.com. I also felt that this platform was the most organized when I compared it to Tumblr and Wordpress. Tumblr seemed too simplistic and the Wordpress platform felt very busy. I had difficulty navigating through some example sites on Wordpress. Blogspot also lets me link directly into my Gmail accounts so I do not need another online account to keep track of my activities. I am also more familiar with the way Google products operate. I hope that you find the information on this blog interesting and informative. Please feel free to leave feedback as it will help me to become a better blogger and researcher!
