  • Research and analyze archival material related to cancer in DC.

  • Identify notable or unexpected observations in official documentation to inform the interpretation of population health data.

  • Maintain detailed records of research findings and support the development of contextual narratives for data stories.

  • Collaborate with the research team to integrate findings into historical narratives.
