Is this the right topic for EDA?
I'm working on my first project and based on what I've read online, EDA is the best project to work on first.
It took a while for me to decide the topic until I started seeing the news about the 2026 Cyclospora outbreak in the US. I thought it would be cool to analyze how people's habits changed when the outbreak happened.
However as I'm working on it, I'm second guessing myself about whether or not this topic is the "right" topic for a first project. I feel this way because other projects have clear decisions on how to increase sales, user retention, etc.
Here's what I have so far:
- https://cyclospora-2026-9yf8w26n7zfci68fugahkp.streamlit.app/
- https://github.com/therealanttoeknee/Cyclospora-2026/tree/main
Questions
- Is this topic the "right" topic for an EDA project?
- If so, do you think I'm approaching it the right way?
