I learned that animals on Earth are in more danger than ever before. Climate change and habitat loss are causing mass extinctions of species we don't even know about. #WhatIlearnedin39C https://t.co/gS32NMLrR4

[daniel @danielw39c]

I learned that animal conservation should be done because we, as humans, have the power to do it. It is morally correct even if birds do not have economic value. #WhatIlearnedin39C https://t.co/QlCuxtK1mK

This quarter in 39C, I learned how to create and customize my own website with WIX. Check it out here! #WhatIlearnedin39C https://t.co/myd3ISQkMM

[daniel @danielw39c]

In 39C, I learned how to put together a ton of different literary sources into one coherent essay. #WhatIlearnedin39C

[daniel @danielw39c]

I agree. The documentary, "Bird Brain", really showcased how bird can be intelligent in a lot of different ways. It was definitely a defining moment of this course.

[itsGordon @itsGordon1]

#WhatIlearnedin39C Through the study of bird brains, I got impressed with how intelligent different types of birds are in terms of their emotional expressions, tool-using intelligence, social interaction, and communication

[daniel @danielw39c]

Speciesism is definitely an important takeaway from this course. It should be something to face just like racism.

[Cesia Alvarez @CesiaAlvarez15]

#WhatIlearnedin39C I learned about the term speciesism, which is the assumption of human superiority over animals.

[daniel @danielw39c]

I learned a lot about wolves!

[donovanlin @UCLfo0qFKc2JfBG]

i learn many messages about the dog's actions #WhatIlearnedin39C

[daniel @danielw39c]

Yeah, knowing how to use wix can definitely be useful in the future too.

[Kelly :) @KellyUrdaz]

#WhatIlearnedin39C From this class, I learned how to use and manage WIX, a website that we used to document what we learned throughout this course

[daniel @danielw39c]

That's for sure. The reflection blogs helped me remember the assignments and readings throughout each week.

[Fiona Wu @fionaw39c]

#WhatIlearnedin39C I found our reflection blogs serving an important role in helping us retain information from our animal-related research.

[daniel @danielw39c]

I agree. Many animals are capable of more than we give them credit for.

[SONGQI WEN @albert_wen4real]

#WhatIlearnedin39C I learn that monkey has their own intelligence to solve problems and challenges, and human should treat them equally.

[daniel @danielw39c]

Yep, same. It was very useful.

[shiqi chen @shiqichen12]

#WhatIlearnedin39C I learned in 39C how to use the UCI library and database

[daniel @danielw39c]

"If an unlucky farmer experiences just one percent of total reported amount and is unable to provide evidence, they can lose 4% or more of their yearly income, based on USDA median income numbers (“Farm Household Income Estimates”)." #39canimals https://t.co/4gBJ8MIR1p

[daniel @danielw39c]

To prevent depredation, "Farmers should keep their herds healthy and quickly remove carcasses, put up fencing or electric barriers, use guard rangers or dogs, install alarms, or harass wolves with loud noises (“ODFW Wolves”)." #39canimals https://t.co/9SaEY78hIK

[daniel @danielw39c]

"A sufficient population of wolves has been proven to be beneficial for ecological balance and biological diversity." #39canimals https://t.co/iL1Y8H4f3e

[daniel @danielw39c]

"Additionally, although attitudes toward wolves have shifted towards the positive, Mech also notes that '...the closer humans live to wolves, the less tolerant they are...' (Mech, Where Can Wolves Live? 313)." #39canimals https://t.co/446i9LNZwb

[daniel @danielw39c]

"The Center for Biological Diversity states that ' ...today wolves occupy less than 10% of their historic range…' (“America's Gray Wolves: A Long Road to Recovery”)." #39canimals

[daniel @danielw39c]

That's pretty cool! #WhatIlearnedin39C

[Q @qinhan_zhou]

Over the course of the quarter, I've learned that tool-making abilities vary widely among primates in different regions and are affected by diet. #WhatIlearnedin39C

[daniel @danielw39c]

Yes, so did I. They are great tools for research. #WhatIlearnedin39C

[daniel @danielw39c]

Yep, knowing how to use Wix is definitely something that could be important in the future. #WhatIlearnedin39C

[aria @aria39c]

#WhatILearnedin39c I learned how to navigate the Wix Website tool and create my own website
