This VPR radio program visits the topic of emotion in animals. Virginia Morell is an animal researcher and author of the book "Animal Wise: The Thoughts and Emotions of Our Fellow Creatures." Morell studies the emotions of different animals and their means for communicating those emotions. The large topic of interest in this short VPR news special is about whether humans have a special connection with dogs. Morell's answer is yes, dogs and humans have a similar way of communicating with facial cues and body language which makes our two species somewhat appealing to one another. This helps my research a lot in that it brings out not only the similarities between K-9s and humans but also the mysterious draw of one animal to the other. Since the domesticated dog is so closely related to the wolf, it is true that wolves have similar body language, facial expression and social behavior tendencies. Morell speaks about her topic of expertise with great ease and it is fun to listen to because she is so smart.

Many people have heard about and used the College Board website to help with college prep. However, I thought I would share this one tidbit of a tool that is within College Board called "Compare Colleges."

This information includes; name, location, type (private/public), campus life (how many students, rural/suburban/city, size), admissions (selectivity, requirements, score ranges), and cost and aid. This was a great way to see the colleges I was interested in without having to pull the information from their separate websites.
