Option 1

 * Article title: Ahna Skop from the webpage Genetics: College of Agricultural and Life Sciences | School of Medicine and Public Health
 * Article Evaluation
 * This article's content is relevant to the topic because it centers around the work of Ahna Skop as well as some other aspects of her life. It goes in depth on her work and provides information on the different awards she has received. It is written neutrally overall, although there could be a slight bias toward reporting positive information, as the website is written by the University that she works for. However, their wording and descriptions does not seem biased, as it mainly just states facts about what she has done. Not all claims have citations, but most do reference citations at least for any of her work. the citations are reliable, as they are mainly peer-reviewed papers. This article covers a woman in science who is a part of an underrepresented population within the scientific fields, especially as she is not fully white.

Option 2

 * Article title: SKOP, PHD, DSC, AHNA
 * Article Evaluation
 * This article is quite short overall and fails to include much information not already referenced in a different article. However, it does include a good summary of her work and education and is a valuable source in conjunction with the other sources. It agrees with other sources which improves both sources' validities; however, it lacks citations for its information and for this reason should probably be generally avoided in exchange for the use of better sources.

Option 3

 * Article title:Dr. Ahna Skop, Ph.D.
 * Article Evaluation
 * This article is written nicely for understanding the many different things that Ahna Skop devotes herself to. It clearly lays out the various positions she holds and includes various documents that provide worthwhile information about Dr. Skop. While the article is not written to appear biased, it is a page from her own lab's website so I doubt there would be anything written there that was not positive regardless of if something may exist. It included lots of dates to put the various stages of Dr. Skop's life in order, and included information on many of the organizations she associates with. It also gives good backstory on her life growing up and her family.
