Congratulation to the class of 2020! One things forsure we made the best out of our last quarter together! #envir492

With the Capstone experience coming to an end I just want to thank everyone who helped me along the way! It wasn't easy but it was well worth it! #envir492 #PoEcap

@SammyChu14 found that to rebuild children's connection with nature we need to make nature accessible and safe to interact with! #PoEcap #envir492

@SammyChu14 did her #PoEcap project with Oxbow Farm & Conservation Center to propose a sensory garden for a local school! #envir492

@pranavbhardwaj_ found that cyberscience platforms are an effective data collection tool especially when it comes to such things low scale projects! #PoEcap #envir492

@pranavbhardwaj_ presented his #PoEcap project on how technology can support environmental literacy! Check out this link to find out more about cyberscience: zooniverse.org

@conor_courtney found that 100% of top tweets included links, photos, or videos in their tweets! #PoEcap #envir492

@conor_courtney did his #PoEcap project on news organizations and how they format their tweets to engage audiences about scientific and environmental topics. #envir492

I'll be live tweeting the Capstone Symposium! Good luck to all the presenters! #PoEcap #envir492

Be sure to tune in tomorrow!! #envir492 #PoEcap

@CKasinadhuni @BrisenoArceo I was wondering the same thing but I guess we will figure it out as we go! #envir492

@BrisenoArceo real question- how are we hopping from presentation to presentation if we are presenting in our zoom rooms?? still honestly having trouble understanding the layout #help #ENVIR492

Another expert with relevance to my synthesis is Donald Brown my site supervisor at the EPA. Without his help and expertise my project would nearly be half of what it is today! #envir492

While they don't have a twitter account Elizabeth Mishalanie's article "Obtaining Trustworthy Environmental Data" supported my synthesis through the importance of data collection and measurement. #envir492

Due to the nature of my internship most of the information gathered for my Capstone project was directly through the EPA itself. #envir492

@JessicaG253 I would say that's perfectly normal! #envir492

Even though I filled out my message box and filmed my two minute pitch, I feel like I'll definitely have some changes as I continue my project. That's normal though, right? #Envir492

Working directly with the Quality Assurance team while interning at the EPA was very helpful in gathering information for my synthesis! #envir492

Excited for to share my project for the capstone conversation tomorrow ! #envir492

@NektariosH Do your research and come prepared with questions and you'll do just fine! #envir492 #PoECap

@SelenaaaXie My project was not my first choice let alone in my top three! I think it's important to have an idea of what you want to do but keep an open mind during the meet and greet! #envir492 #POEcap

Is your capstone project your first choice when you looked through the catalog? If not, why? #ENVIR492 #ENVIR490 #POECap

Hopefully week two treats me a little better! Was a bit of rough start but things are working themselves out! #envir492
