Hi! My name is Raegan Blue, I’m a recent graduate of the University of Michigan with a degree in Biochemistry and a minor in Writing. I’ll be taking a few gap years to work before I plan on attending Law School. My goal is to become a patent attorney. I have a passion for research and science as well as an interest in learning about people and how our environment informs how we acquire and interpret information. This is why the concept of the anti-vaccine community has both frustrated and fascinated me. I plan on carrying the research and analysis skills I've developed over the course of this project with me in both my personal and professional life.

​

My interest in this project started with my exposure to these ideologies across social media and in my personal life. I wanted to learn more about why people are susceptible to this information in the hopes that if I learn more about why I can better understand how to combat this misinformation. The vast majority of my understanding of the anti-vax movement came from the media. I knew that that couldn’t be the complete story and so I decided to do “My Own Research.”
