I am a student at UCSC. I am using twitter in order to learn more about animal science.

#39canimals Speciesism is a very interesting idea!

[Gavin Fernandez @GavinF762652]

#39canimals Yes! Tweeting can be very educational.

[Jaime Guevara @jguevara39c]

In 39C I learned that tweeting can actually be useful for a variety of different tasks. #WhatIlearnedin39C

#39canimals I agree that paragraphs should be clearly discernible.

[Janelle Tan @funjanelle]

Since the paper is quite long, it is necessary to make clear the function of each paragraph.

#39canimals Bird brains are very interesting and complex.

[Bella Souza @isouzauci]

having a bird brain is not an insult! they are able to learn and use tools #whatilearnedin39c

#39canimals Shark finning is an awful practice.

[pallavi rajeev @pallavi_rajeev]

#39canimals Some of the solutions offered include passing more acts (Oceana), prohibiting the fishing of sharks and the removal of their fins (Marine Stewardship Council), spreading awareness and education,

#39canimals I agree that visuals are very important to make the website easy to read.

[Caitlin @CaitlinWR39C]

#WhatIlearnedin39C Visuals and white space are very important to have an easily readable website

#39canimals What is ivory used for?

[Janelle Tan @funjanelle]

Why poaching problem exists? Its humans’ discoutent.
The ivory trade in Africa was at its peak between the 15th and 19th centuries and has spread to Europe as well, Arabia, and other regions.

#39canimals Habitat deterioration seems to be a common theme among endangered animals.

[Rachel Lynn Loberstein @rloberst]

"The issue of habitat deterioration is the most devastating. It is not only the most prominent, but has the most contributing factors; human settlement in these areas, increased poaching/hunting out of necessity for food, and other external environmental factors."#39canimals

#39canimals What kind of birds are most commonly traded?

[Letian Yu @letiay1]

In addition, the trade of wild birds is also a major threat to the survival of birds. The laws of many countries prohibit the trade of wild birds in consideration of environmental protection.

#39canimals Wow, only one dish?

[pallavi rajeev @pallavi_rajeev]

#WhatIlearnedin39C I learned about how one culturally enriched dish that has been around for years, shark fin soup, causes a great threat to the shark population.

[Gavin Fernandez @GavinF762652]

#WhatIlearnedin39C I learned how to write a blog and upload it to a website.

[Gavin Fernandez @GavinF762652]

#WhatIlearnedin39C From reading TIME articles in the beginning of the quarter, I learned that elephants mourn their dead.

[Gavin Fernandez @GavinF762652]

#WhatIlearnedin39C I learned that octopuses make their own houses and they do so quite frequently.

[Gavin Fernandez @GavinF762652]

#WhatIlearnedin39C Through 39C, I learned how to analyze a research study.

[Gavin Fernandez @GavinF762652]

#WhatIlearnedin39C One thing I learned in 39C was that many animals are much more intelligent than people think.

#39canimals "Global warming is an incredibly complex issue because any solution must halt large amounts of carbon emissions from all over the world and also remove these large amounts of carbon that have already been released from the atmosphere."

[Gavin Fernandez @GavinF762652]

#39canimals If ocean temperatures continue to increase, octopuses will need to use "much more energy than they need to". https://t.co/Zf4FhvRL87

[Gavin Fernandez @GavinF762652]

#39canimals Nuclear fusion "has the potential to significantly offset current carbon emissions via replacing thermal power plants which currently emit large amounts of carbon dioxide into the air."

[Gavin Fernandez @GavinF762652]

#39canimals "The Paris Agreement is an international agreement adopted by 196 parties in 2015 whose goal is to limit global warming to well below two degrees celsius." https://t.co/aoQgF24QU2
