This will provide you with some quick, fun practice for your future academic work; just give it your best try. The work you do this week should be low-stress, supportive, and intriguing as we “dip into research” and wish one another farewell. Spend some time researching credible and/or scholarly sources in the Chamberlain online library based on your passions in your field. Are you, for example, keenly interested in innovations in neonatal care? Perhaps you want to discover more about advances in a particular diagnostic process or a particular form of cancer. Let your passions take you where they may in finding out what is happening right now in your field and in an area that fascinates you. Once you have chosen a source, compose your main discussion post. What process did you use to decide on a topic and to research, narrow your search, and locate this source? Example: My decision to research Wilms Tumors in children was relatively easy because I love a child with Wilms. I went to the main search bar in the Chamberlain online library and typed in: Wilms Tumor. I knew I would get many results, and I did receive over 25,000 hits so began using the options, cutting down to just the past few years for dates, and choosing “Peer-reviewed Journals” so I knew I would have scholarly sources. Narrowing to very recent publications took me down to 668 hits and narrowing to scholarly and full text took me to 401 hits. This is still quite a bit, so I decided to click on the “limit by subject” area and chose “survival,” which narrowed my list to 9.Why did you ultimately choose this specific source? Example: In my list of 9 sources, one title contained the question: “Has the Final Word Been Spoken?” I was intrigued and opened and read this article because I was intrigued by the hint that there is more good news to come on Wilms Tumors.Practice writing your own sentence with a quotation from that source. Use a signal phrase, integrate the quotation, use quotation marks, and cite it fully directly after in an in-text parenthetical citation in correct style. Follow this with a brief discussion of why you find the source and concept interesting, and end with a correct end reference for the source in  style.Example: According to Kurian et al., (2023), “Complete tumor excision with no spill is of paramount importance” but “biological behavior” remains “unclear, and concerted efforts to study this are required” (p. 26). This conclusion did give me hope because while I know that we always need more information, I also know that in my family’s case, the removal was a success.Kurian, J. J., Jahangir, S., & Korula, A. (2023). Multiloculated cystic renal tumors of childhood: Has the final word been spoken? Journal of Indian Association of Pediatric Surgeons, 23(1), 22-26. Once you have completed Part I, please post it as your initial post, along with a farewell note to the class. Arts & HumanitiesEnglish
