# (NEW) Twitter API ⭐

Today was a big step in my research—I finally learned how to use the Twitter API. At first, it sounded super technical and intimidating (I mean, anything with “API” in the name feels like hacker stuff 😅), but it actually made sense once I saw what it could do.

I used it to start collecting tweets about GMOs, like ones mentioning "StarLink corn" or “GMO danger.” It’s kind of crazy seeing how fast misinformation spreads, just by reading people’s posts in real time. Some tweets are based on science, but most are just emotion or fear.

I feel like I’ve opened a new door. Now I can actually track how misinformation grows, not just assume it. I’m excited (and a little nervous) to dive deeper into this data.
