Late follow up to my live tweeting of the symposium, but in case anyone missed any presentations you can catch them on POE's website! envstudies.uw.edu/2022/05/10/spr…

My advice to students finishing up #ENVIR490 would be to take advantage of the people who are there to support you (your cohort, instructors, faculty advisor, site supervisor etc). The weeks will fly by before you notice, don’t be afraid to ask for help #ENVIR492 (3/3)

It not only helped me figure out aspects of working and workplaces that I like, but also dislike. I interned with King County and I know now that I absolutely do not want to work in government (for now). Regardless, I had a great experience #ENVIR492 (2/3)

While I had some difficulties over the course of my capstone, it definitely helped me develop great skills and connect me with amazing folks in the fields that I’m interested in #ENVIR492 (1/3)

I liked how the #POECap symposium was split into two days this year - that way I could enjoy the second day without being stressed out about presenting! Gave me time to focus on my live tweeting too 👀 #ENVIR492

Relieved and excited that the quarter is almost over, although I’m terrified of post graduation (anyone have job hunting tips??) #ENVIR492

@RuisiXu0321 Definitely super cool to see everyone’s projects, especially the broadness of how everyone’s fit into environmental studies! #ENVIR492

I love everyone’s posts! They made me feel your strong passion about the topic. And I gained so many new knowledges! #ENVIR492 #POEcap

@Racheluther 22 PAGES?? #ENVIR492

#ENVIR492 It feels good to have submitted all of my assignments! The only thing left is to edit my 22 page synthesis paper

That wraps up my live tweeting of #POECap Symposium Day 2! Shoutout to all the presenters and speakers, truly a pleasure to hear from y’all! #ENVIR492

Interesting to hear @ShaeHolmes_ ‘s talk on how athlete vs student athlete attitudes towards the environment differ, and how to increase participation and engagement #POECap

. @_victoriaharmon looked at barriers to communication between scientists and policy makers when it comes to environmental policy. Scientific jargon inhibits communication, while both scientists and legislators value trust and relationship building #POECap

Great talk from @EmmaRadisch who looked at incorporating best practices in webinars with Alaska Native communities. I especially liked the focus on post webinar and the emphasis on “what can we do better” #POECap

. @annagavv laid out best practices to avoid environmental gentrification when increasing green space access below: #POECap

. @lyndslovesearth outlines the significance of trees in cities. Her research found that communities with more environmental health hazards have more tree dieback, which can exacerbate negative health effects on these communities #POECap

. @Racheluther emphasized the need for co-management and collaboration between Indigenous Knowledge and current forestry techniques to create a more resilient future #POECap

Special shoutout to @the_zinker3 ‘s necklace too 👀🐤

Loved @the_zinker3 ‘s presentation on how climate change will affect bird populations! Climate change will affect the reliability of indicator species. I kind of want to go home and watch the bachelor… #POECap

. @LeanderVandefen looked at the effects of electro fishing on salmon. He found that it can leas to injury, mortality, and reduction of growing in aging fish. Protecting salmon is important because of their cultural and ecological significance! #POECap

On to the lightning talks! Looking forward to hearing everyone speak! #POECap

⠀ @rachelneroutsos looked at sea lion population decline - most of the main reasons stem from human caused economic and social factors, with the fourth reason being predation #POECap
