While Wilma's 🐶 wooden friends behind her might look pretty convincing, they definitely can't fetch balls or review scientific papers like she can. Speaking of artificial companions, Wilma has been sniffing around some research about how AI is really affecting jobs.

Wilma 🐶 is very convinced of her leadership skills! For example, last fall she planted an apple tree that she received as a gift. Every day she "worked" with the tree, and now it is blooming beautifully. 🌳💮

Wilma wonders: Is there another way to test leadership skills?

Wilma 🐶 had to choose between two hands – one with a treat 🥕, one empty – and picked the wrong one! But sometimes, "wrong" choices are not so wrong after all...
