Animal Person , someone who is clearly smarter than me, has a great analysis about the recent "Pepper" series in Slate about animal research. At least he didn't try to make me feel happy or warm and fuzzy about animal research. By the end of my time as researcher, I was performing behavioral experiments on humans.

A number of research projects have sought to determine if some of these human brain abilities are found in other animals. And most recently, a team of researchers from New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and Austria have demonstrated that New Caledonian Crows understand UCAs. But that’s another story. Here’s the idea.

While having a great product at the right price point is certainly important, it doesn’t guarantee success. A study from SiriusDecisions found that 81 percent of B2B buyers today make purchase decisions based on buying experience, rather than product or price.

Before visiting the local animal shelter, I should have done some background research. The only thing I did right that day was begin my search at the animal shelter, though the local pound is also a great place to look. Don’t let the dog eat your homework.
