This week I followed a lot of new accounts, some of them are professors of universities, some are researchers in institutions, some are institutions themselves, and others are people who are also interested in animal related topics. One account I followed is Discovery, which is the official account of the Discovery Channel. This is a channel I love watching since I was a kid. This account frequently post things that are related to animals, plants, geography, astronomy, and much more. I feel lucky that I found this account, which it has so many fun information posted and useful topics for me to explore. I saw tweets about farm owners complaining about animal right protestors illegally came in to their farm and rob their animals. Besides, there're also tweets about animals which are being "rescued" by these protestors did not get proper care and died within a few days. It's new to me that people have different opinions on this with different identities. For farmers, their animals are their properties, and they depend on them to make money. The act of saving animals appears to be a kind of robbery to them. Through hashtag surfing, I can find a lot of related information about the same topic. That's very useful for me to find different opinions about the event from people all over the world. The hashtag Ravenintelligence is one of the most useful ones I found. The picture above is the best tweet I think I tweeted this week. It's a reflection of my Big Three. I think it's the best one because this is so different from all other things about crow intelligence I found, which it provides a clue of next level thinking. The crow is trying to figure out how things work, not just what would work for this particular task.


This week I commented on Zixuan Du's research agenda. Besides he forgot to give credit to the second author of his first source, he did a good job on it. I think his layout is clear and the annotation is well-organized and effective. It would be even better if he change font of the titles to bold.
