Week Three Reflection

As I use the Twitter app everyday, I am getting more used to the platform. I am focusing on following and interacting with animal-related posts in order to curate my feed.

Recently, I have followed some profiles, and I recommend them:

I have followed Sean Johnson-Bice (@SJohnsonBice) who is a Phd candidate at the University of Manitoba. He posts (and reposts) information about foxes, wolves, and other wildlife. You should follow him if you are interested in canines!

I also have followed Raptor Research Foundation (@research_raptor) which is an organization dedicated to researching about raptors (birds of prey). This profile provides a lot of up-to-date information about birds. If you are interested in studying Aves, I would give this profile a follow!

I also looked at some of my classmates' feeds. Vinay Raja (@VinayRaja_UC) has made many posts about wolves. Vinay has recently made a post about wolf packs not only having alpha males as leaders; instead, both the alpha and their mate lead together as co-leaders. It was pretty cool information!

Other than curating my feed, I took a stab at using ChatGPT for research. ChatGPT is an online AI, and is a nightmare for many teachers. However, I was given specific instructions to use the platform as a research tool, which I found to be beneficial. I learned a lot about foxes! One interesting fact about foxes is about their intricate burrowing habits; foxes spend years creating multiple-chambered dens that have many entrances. Foxes store food and use the entrances as escape routes. This is a strong example of how intelligent foxes are.
