      I wish I knew i would very likely enjoy working with ravens since they are intelligent as heck, id try to teach them to communicate simply, sorta like monkeys, maybe attempt to teach them some gestures that they are capable of doing, maybe even attempt to teach them to use cards with words or something, never the less it would be really interesting to work with them, or any other highly intelligent animal!

    • @monicology
      @monicology  2 роки тому +1

      That's a great question! I believe anyone can benefit from being in research, whether you are a current student or graduate. In trying to define your next steps, it can be useful to imagine your long-term goals (e.g., a career in academia vs professional programs, the list goes on...). Since you mention that you enjoy research, maybe you can consider working in a lab in the summer exploring new skills you haven't yet learned!
