My Experiences with Twitter

As one of the few 2000's kids who have not yet opened a Twitter account, this was a new territory for me. Setting up a Twitter account aged me, as I honestly had no idea what I was doing. I still am learning and navigating the platform.

I followed many of my classmates on Twitter, and I followed many accounts dealing with canine research. I figured that I would start narrowing my research to canines (in comparison to aves) because I find them to be more interesting. In particular, I find the Twitter account @tammietheking to have good links to articles on animal (usually dog) behavior.

I myself tweeted about canines. I tweeted a link to an article about the domestication of foxes, which is to provide some insight on the strategy behind animals choosing to become household pets. I also tweeted about canine cognition and problem-solving skills, which they have advanced. Lastly, I tweeted an article suggesting that dogs can understand humans more than domesticated wild animals (wolves).

@tiffanynguyen provided interesting articles about penguins, and I liked her post about penguin's "cocktail effect". That article taught me about penguins' incredible sense of hearing and memory.

Overall, I have had a good start to my research journey.
