2. Decide upon a team name that you will use to name a shared wiki page for the group. Please keep it professional.
3. Answer the following questions on your page:
   • What is your research question?
   • What publicly available data will you need to gather to answer your question.
     • It will be helpful to list specific websites/databases. Dr. Dahlquist will also be available to consult on Thursday.
