It was so nice to keep in touch on here this summer, even despite all of Elon's BS. Time to sign off. See you all in 492! #envir491 #poecap

@ErinSchobbe Same haha I’m also only 2/3 done

Main takeaways so far (even though I'm only like 2/3 of the way through my internship): 1. the standard practice of carbon accounting has come a long way- but is difficult to quality check against reality 2. Voluntary carbon markets are constantly changing #ENVIR491 #poecap (1/2)

@PalmerHolt7 It has definitely been really rewarding! I’m so excited to see it come to fruition this autumn

@KeyaRRoy This work sounds so rewarding! Perennials seem like a great way of making food systems more resilient!

My key takeaway from my internship is that meaningful edible perrenial garden design is no easy task: it requires in-depth research into the site climate and the diets of the communities you are aiming to serve #envir491 #poecap

@bella_capstone Back at you!

@KeyaRRoy This is so interesting, I can't wait to learn more about your project next quarter!!

My key takeaway from my research is that we need to expand our fungi cultivation infrastructure in the US. We could be producing nutritious food, biomaterials for construction and air filtration, and compost all from this one organism. #envir491 #poecap

@gthomsenuw37 @pseanmc Yes, thank you @pseanmc !!!

@pseanmc Thank you for being a great instructor during #ENVIR491 who is always willing to help even when you are busy (we know you got a lot on your plate!)

@lucyjtoner When I interned for a nonprofit last year, this is definitely what I learned too! Still feeling iffy on if I can make a career out of it and still pay off my student loans haha

My second takeaway from #ENVIR491 is that nonprofit work is hard. It takes a lot of unpaid or barely paid time, but this work often directly impacts communities, so get involved. Help out where you can, and remember to thank CBOs and nonprofits for their community impact.

Shoutout to adhd and scoliosis fr

🛑⚠️ACCOUNTABILITY THREAD⚠️🛑 Reply with a timelapse of u working on your annotated bibliography. Here’s mine! #envir491 #poecap

@GahaganAmelie Yeesh. I have a lot to do lol. I’m only halfway done w my annotated bib 😭

@KeyaRRoy How are you coping with and planning around the September 20th deadline?

Are you planning to extend your Capstone internship past August 18th? If so, comment why. If not, tell me what you plan to do with the rest of your summer break!

@KeyaRRoy Yay! We're so glad this connection was made. Building community one herb at a time! 😀🌿

@shirley51723 Surprisingly, I’m mostly on track! How about you?

#ENVIR491 Can't believe week 7 passed already! How's everyone doing on the capstone?

Shoutout to @SeaNeighborhood’s community garden coordinators and p-patch director for connecting me with local community garden(ers) growing cultural culinary herbs as perrenials. I couldn’t have done it without your help! 💙💙💙 #envir491 #poecap

Huge shoutout to @tilthalliance and @DannyWooGarden for giving me garden tours and providing me with valuable tips and information on growing culturally relevant culinary herbs that helped immensely to shape my plant list. #envir491 #poecap

@nikiKirihara Whoa! I can’t believe that bug lives in Washington. It looks almost tropical

Look at this bug that made me scream alone at the Taylor Mountain site this past Monday 🥰 I’ve never seen one before! #ENVIR491

@GahaganAmelie Yes, of course! It’s really interesting— mycelium leather is one of the only mycelium based materials made from pure mycelium rather than a mycelium bio composite, mainly because lack compressive strength is not an issue when it comes to synthetic leather

@KeyaRRoy I didn’t know you were doing research on mycelium-based materials! Have you looked into “mushroom leather?” It’s so cool!

Also shoutout to Ajoy Kanti Mondal who authored a great literature review on mycelium-based materials and who is also a fellow Bengali ❤️🤍 #envir491

@JustinChao1127 I’m feeling the same way. We are so close to the finish line though!

Finish my week 6 internship yesterday. Tougher and tougher as it's closer to the end of the quarter. #ENVIR491

@enviranna I did 6 and finished them up in the first three weeks

How many interviews does #ENVIR491 have on the schedule (completed and concretely scheduled)? I'm currently sitting at 4 completed out of 8 scheduled! Still on the search for more 🔎🗒️
