This Weeks Questions:

Anonymous: Imagine an app that knows what an animal is communicating, feeling or likely to do next, based on a short video of them. Which animal would you be the most excited to use it with? If the app first had to learn from hundreds of hours of annotated footage of this animal, would it still be worth it?

Dani: What are your best books of this year or of recently?

Anonymous: I know working in wildlife is all about gaining experience whether it's volunteering/interning, etc. but I was wondering if, in your experiences, there are certain types of work that helped you find more opportunities that kept you involved or if you have any particular recommendations/tips on this?

Don: Has anyone not taken you seriously in conservation field due to how young you are? How to do get through that barrier if so?

Anonymous: I always wanted to go into some kind of wildlife conservation career. However the university with the best conservation program is across state, and I dont want tons of student loans. I wanted to know if getting a degree is the only way to go, or are there other options besides university.
