"People think that geography is about capitals, landforms and so on. But it is also about place — its emotional tone, social meaning, and generative potential.” —Yi-Fu Tuan, 1930-2022 Thanks to @UWMadison @UWMadisonGeog for this tribute: bit.ly/3PT2MUN

Some spectacular underwater photography coming from our Marine Subtidal Ecology course this summer. Check out these photos from @ElizabethZajacz starring a kelp forest, crabs, and even a sunflower seastar! instagram.com/p/ChYLobuPoXx/

I can’t believe that this week wraps up Capstone! I’m sure all of my #ENVIR492 peers will go off to do some awesome things! I’d love to stay connected to you all! Here is my Linkedin: linkedin.com/in/elizabeth-z…

For all the #ENVIR490 students embarking on #ENVIR491 I recommend taking the time now to think clearly about the feasibility of answering your research question during the time you have planned. It’s helpful to think about all the elements you need early #ENVIR492

@annagavv Good luck Anya! I’ve loved having classes with you over the year! No doubt you’ll go on to do some awesome stuff :) #ENVIR492

Some of my big takeaways from this quarter! It was such a joy learning with you all and going through this Capstone experience. Wishing everyone the best of luck with finals, and moving forwards to the next school year or post-grad! #ENVIR492

@MikaelaEbbeson So exciting! I recommend taking the time now to figure out what sort of scheduling/planning method works best for you! You’ll likely start to get busy pretty soon :) #ENVIR492

I am very excited and nervous about starting my internship later this month. What are some tips from the #Envir492 students or past #POEcap students on how to make the most of the experience? #Envir490

@GaitherMabel Yes! I Hope you are able to finish the quarter off strong! Have a great Summer #HAGS #ENVIR492

I'm so happy you came to see it! It's been lovely having different classes together, and especially when it comes to thinking about green spaces. #ENVIR492

That’s a wrap on the #POEcap symposium! Congrats to all of my #ENVIR492 peers for doing an amazing job tonight! You can check out more info on all of our research projects here: envstudies.uw.edu/2022/05/10/spr…

Achieving a sustainable lifestyle can be confusing for many of us. It is equally challenging for small businesses. @SpencerKailin identified barriers for sustainability in small businesses through her internship #POEcap #ENVIR492

@_shaeholmes worked to promote sustainable messaging with @GoGreenHuskies for her research! Student athletes have a great platform for supporting these messages #POEcap #ENVIR492

@_victoriaharmon reminds us that relationship building between scientists and politicians is essential for tackling solutions to climate change and can increase public opinion of policy #POEcap #ENVIR492

@EmmaRadisch highlighted the importance of holding webinars during the school time for students because internet is often most reliable at school in remote Alaskan communities #POEcap #ENVIR492

@EmmaRadisch did an awesome job presenting the best practices for creating environmental webinars in Alaska based on an internship we did with @NOAAFisheriesAK! #POEcap #ENVIR492

Lots of us love green spaces and they can be really great for improving environmental and mental health! Increasing green spaces can also increase risk of gentrification. @annagavv says that collaboration with communities can help mitigate this risk #POEcap #ENVIR492

@Racheluther conducted very important research on the collaboration between tribes and government in forest management #POEcap #ENVIR492

I love how @the_zinker3 took such a creative approach to presenting her research! Is season two of the #Birdchelor in her future? #POEcap #ENVIR492

@LeanderVandefen brought the puns to his lightning talk! It’s important to find ways to lighten up such serious environmental topics #POEcap #ENVIR492

Lightning’s talks are starting now! Good luck everyone! (Especially my co-intern @EmmaRadisch) #POEcap #ENVIR492

@GaitherMabel made a really interesting connection between the decline of western redcedar and heat islands of Seattle. It also raises important concerns on equity #POEcap #ENVIR492

The poster highlights went by so quick! Wish I could have seen more! #POEcap #ENVIR492
