Reddit and What I Found There

Continuing on in our search of the perfect article in my field of Veterinary Science, Reddit is our next destination. Its a place of opinion, discussion, and debate that will provide good insights to things happening in the world of Veterinary Science today!

There doesn't seem to be a high amount of debate on things in this specific field, but many people discuss the field itself and what its like to be a part of the vet sci. world. They often post about what their doing as a veterinarian and how they like the job and such.

A specific (mini) debate I saw was the questioning if sea lions of the world are going extinct or not. Dr. Claire Simeone of the Marine Mammal Center posted about going to the west coast in order to help save the sea lion population there. Some commented saying that her efforts should be placed elsewhere for the population of sea lions is not in danger. Another debate that I came across was the debate of equality of women and men in the work place, specifically in science related jobs. In the STEM program, the original author was talking about the inequality in the STEM programs. Others commented about how the government doesn't really care to provide for programs in the science in general, while others talk about the nursing shortage and inequality in all jobs with women and men.

The debates on Reddit were interesting, but there just wasn't that many that connected to my specific major. I like how people weren't afraid to leave their own opinions and often would produce long, long discussions (sometimes getting a little snarky) that held my interest. I wasn't too surprised by what they were talking about, but they did have a lot of questions of the work of a veterinarian. Reddit is just the next step in obtaining an article about Veterinary Science that I am interested in!
Updates to come!
