Hey y’all - final tweet from this #POECap account. Follow me on my main account @conor_courtney to see what I’m up to in the future! #ENVIR492

@AlexpeckUW Wait it’s June? #ENVIR492

Happy to conclude #poecap but also extremely caught off guard how fast time has passed. I’m pretty anxious about post college adulthood but have learned a great amount of coping techniques and problem-solving skills the last several months. #deep #unemployment #envir492

@EsedgemoreUW @uwpoe Ditto, Sean is the hero we needed #ENVIR492

I'm not sure when any of these current situations will, if ever, improve, but the extensions and support @uwpoe have given myself and fellow #ENVIR492 students has been extraordinarily helpful

I’m proud I was able to slog through the last few months, and that I was able to put together a meaningful #POECap. It’s hard to imagine what the future holds, but I’ve got a lot of faith that our #ENVIR492 course is going to do extremely impactful work in the future.

@bela8299 That's a really wonderful quote! I totally agreed, sustainability isn't the goal, but just a stepping stone towards a better environment #ENVIR492

One farmer told me that he thinks "sustainability isn't enough. We're working to regenerate and improve the environment, not keep it the same." Wondering how livestock fit into that mission? I'll be sharing my findings in the first session! #ENVIR492

The #POECap symposium is nearly here! Wednesday on Zoom I'll finally get to share the work I've been doing since April of last year!! #ENVIR492

@farmer_nat I totally agree! I actually liked some aspects of it - at certain points I had way more people watching my presentation on zoom than would've been able to fit around my poster during an in-person symposium #ENVIR492

#zoomPOEcap was new for everyone, but went surprisingly well! The instant I started speaking all my nerves vanished, and I felt like I got to reminisce on what a wonderful experience I had at my internship #envir492

Big s/o to @PierisAshton for his #POECap presentation! He dealt with technical difficulties like a champ, and a delivered a complex and insightful presentation! #ENVIR492

Biggest surprise of #POECap was @ClinchDuke’s haircut amiright #ENVIR492

@RomanelliSophia Ooh totally! #ENVIR492

yo #ENVIR492 I need some help for another class. I'm making a video on urban biodiversity and need some filming locations - where are some of your favorite places in Seattle where nature seems like it's taking over the city?

@larlykampard I just went there this morning! I feel like I go there fairly frequently and still find a new path/trail every visit #ENVIR492

@KawczynskiDiana Love Discovery Park! I hear there still coyotes living in the park #ENVIR492

@CKasinadhuni Just went there this morning! The bridges over the park along the north side were great as well. #ENVIR492

@ConorC_POE UBNA or the Ravenna bridge! I think its on 20th? #ENVIR492

@MelindaSkipwor1 Ooh I've never been to the Kubota Gardens, I'll add it to my list! #ENVIR492

@StoppelJeremy I'm excited to get it over with lol #ENVIR492

Are people more #stressed or #excited with the uncertainty around after-graduation life at this time? #ENVIR492

@EsedgemoreUW Yeah I'm a bit nervous. I feel like it could be tough for folks to see posters clearly, especially if bad internet connections are involved. #ENVIR492

It'll be interesting how the #POEcap symposium will play out, in terms of the guest spread. Since you can't see a poster across the room that might interest you, I could see a lot of people hopping from one room to another, leaving the hosts with a lot of free time #envir492

The annual #POECap is coming up on Wednesday! Watch the #ENVIR492 class present each of our year long research projects via zoom AND you'll get to hear me talking about Twitter clout!

They're also doing great work in the Columbia River basin supporting tribes, local governments, and environmental non-profits in reducing toxics in the basin #ENVIR492

.@EPAnorthwest is doing some great work in reducing household toxics entering local waterways. Safer Choice is basically the "organic" certification of cleaning products, so look for the label the next time you're looking for household cleaning products #ENVIR492

@RomanelliSophia DANG! That slack-lining photo is wild #ENVIR492

@LNeroutsos I went to Robinson Canyon near Thorp on Friday! It was pretty empty, but you defs had to do some trail finding and had to keep an eye out for rattlesnakes #ENVIR492

Anyone been on any good Inslee approved hikes lately? I’m really missing the nonurban outdoors #envir492 #uwpoe
