UCI WR 60 // Interested in learning about social cognition in dogs and the strong connection and communication between dogs and humans!

@RUlchak The documentary we watched on birds was really fascinating to me. They really are intelligent!

[Nellie Nguyen @vanellacakeu]

@dcook021 That's a beautiful quote!

[Nellie Nguyen @vanellacakeu]

@AavashAdhi2751 I didn't know that this practice occurred in shelters. That's really devastating to hear.

[Nellie Nguyen @vanellacakeu]

@rickwriting60 I hope they get the protection and welfare they deserve. 🥺

[Nellie Nguyen @vanellacakeu]

@anwither I agree with you, social media is a great place to both learn and share information about all sorts of things.

[Nellie Nguyen @vanellacakeu]

@rickwriting60 I didn't know that, that's really devastating to hear.

[Nellie Nguyen @vanellacakeu]

@anwither I agree, this course showed me how to create a lot of work in the digital world, especially how to create a website!

[Nellie Nguyen @vanellacakeu]

@NapaliPaladino Those are really pretty pictures! My main focus wasn't on birds but dogs instead, but I was able to find a lot of new and fascinating information about them through these posts. Thanks for sharing!

[Nellie Nguyen @vanellacakeu]

@dcook021 I totally agree that having engaging aspects in the information you want to spread for awareness is truly important!

[Nellie Nguyen @vanellacakeu]

@RUlchak What a terrible sight to see. :(

[Nellie Nguyen @vanellacakeu]

Another that's going to stick to me is how well dogs understand us humans and that it's associated to the domestication that has occurred for numerous of years. Their social cognition is inheritable and it's really cool to see even puppies understand us! #WhatIlearnedinWR60

A lot of the basics when it came to writing articles and essays were already known, but the practice sessions helped me gain an even deeper understanding for each of the elements of the different types of writing. They made me more aware about little details. #WhatIlearnedinWR60

[Nellie Nguyen @vanellacakeu]

I've never really read a research article and this course taught to me how to analyze and understand each of the sections. A lot of the studies were really intriguing to read, especially "Ecological factors shape quantitative decision‑making in coyotes." #WhatIlearnedinWR60

[Nellie Nguyen @vanellacakeu]

I learned how inbreeding negatively impacts golden retrievers as well as how the genetic mutation side of this problem. It's definitely going to stick with me as I've been taking Bio Sci classes for my major, so it's both devastating and interesting to learn. #WhatIlearnedinWR60

[Nellie Nguyen @vanellacakeu]

I learned how to use Twitter as well as how information and awareness is formatted and spread on social media. Beforehand, I've only used social media as a place to share experiences, photos, and memes. Using it professionally was quite the experience! #WhatIlearnedinWR60

Read more about how cross-breeding doesn't arise health problems of both parents in their puppies on this article by Carol Beuchat! #39canimals https://t.co/rjYPS4kBZX

[Nellie Nguyen @vanellacakeu]

"Breeding with different dogs can help maintain the health of a breed by increasing genetic diversity," Breeding Business states. A healthier and stronger immune system is associated with a higher level of genetic diversity. #39canimals

The leading cause of death in golden retrievers is cancer. They have one of the highest rates for cancer, falling at around 60%. It's a devastating number to see. #39canimals https://t.co/IfYXIwMsJD

[Nellie Nguyen @vanellacakeu]

What kind of health problems are more common now due to inbreeding? A lot of them, unfortunately. Some of them include hypothyroidism, hip and elbow dysplasia, atopic dermatitis, pigmentary uveitis, and more. #39canimals https://t.co/gsTzgsCnpb

[Nellie Nguyen @vanellacakeu]

The “probability of poor health in all individuals of the same bloodline and breed” increases as inbreeding occurs among golden retrievers, according to Breeding Business, a platform devoted to ethical dog breeding all around the world. #39canimals https://t.co/XJpLDavACW
