@SustainableStob Finally took an "after" picture this morning, was a beautiful day on campus, sorry about my face blocking the fountain.

@SustainableStob I'll try to track down any pictures from Fall '94, but not too hopeful for my "start" picture...

#envir492 friends! Since many of us are graduating this quarter, let's see a pic of you during your first quarter of college and a pic of you now! I'll start! #10WeeksToGo 🎓

@the_zinker3 I was already a bit salty at effectively only having the weekend to do the peer review (round 1), particularly as the peer review is worth 2.5x the points of the draft turn in. #grumpyoldman

@TravisB_PoE It really be like that.

Are we supposed to get useful and relevant peer reviews to our classmates turned around in less than 24 hours? Even assuming the peer review is assigned quickly, this still seems rushed... #ENVIR492

Last quarter's experience with @SeattleSPU was great, gave me a chance to play with a whole new dataset. #ENVIR492

I know most of us won't be printing posters this quarter, but for what it's worth UW does have poster printing options. Last time I had a poster printed they were competitive with any other print shop. finance.uw.edu/c2/printing-co… #ENVIR492

@GaitherMabel I feel like now that the initial draft is done, the hard part is behind me. I always struggle most with the initial draft. I'm much more comfortable editing than writing/creating. How is your presentation coming along? #envir492

Hey #envir492 folks, how are you feeling about your presentation slides / title and abstract?

@AaronF_017 In general, I'll keep a bullet point reference available, in case I start to blank on an idea or theme, otherwise I let the presentation flow naturally. Pretty sure by the end of the zoom session, I'll be on auto-replay mode no matter what though. #envir492 #PoECAP

#envir492 friends, have any of you been assigned peer reviews for either the presentation or the synthesis draft? Looks like the presentation peer review is due on Monday.

For the posters, should we be formatting and sizing text and graphics for 40x30 printed posters, or should we adjust for them to be shared via zoom, and therefore at best full-screen monitor size? @pseanmc #PoECAP #envir492

If anyone else is struggling with figuring out font sizes on a 40x30 poster, I found a reference at posterpresentations.com/how-to-determi… that helped me. #envir492

As we're getting going on posters and presentations, I'd like to point out the UW Brand Guide, if you want "official" UW colors, logos, etc. washington.edu/brand/ #envir492 #PoECAP

#ENVIR490 / #PoECAP / #ENVIR492 - some information I found about adding CSE style references to Word. I can try to answer any questions too, fair warning it's been a few months since I set this up on my own computer. Hope this helps, @itsonalease

Had a visit from a Golden Crowned Sparrow yesterday afternoon. Sat ~3 feet away from me, and just let me get a few good pictures - these are un-cropped, she was just this close. #ENVIR492

As I wrote last quarter, and the quarter before, we have a lot of resources available through the libraries: guides.lib.uw.edu/az.php . Personally I use Web of Science often, as I browse papers and references. #ENVIR492

Still not sure what I'm going to do long term with the potential twitter sale progressing, but I'm here for the first time in week5, trying to at least put in the minimum. Seems like I have so much more free time while not trying to keep up on both account feeds... #ENVIR492

@the_zinker3 @GaitherMabel I'm right there with you Sam - I haven't managed to actually meet with my Faculty Advisor since Fall. I've been drafting my outline in my head, but haven't actually committed anything to file yet. #envir492 #PoECap

@GaitherMabel I emailed my faculty advisor twice and they have not got back 🤦🏻‍♀️ hopefully I can get in touch this week. Also outline? What outline 🤪 #envir492

Hey folks in #ENVIR492, how are things going with your synthesis outline so far? Or, how was your meeting with your faculty advisor?

My site supervisor directed me to the Water Research Foundation, @WaterResearch , at waterrf.org as a resource to use in my #poecap project. #ENVIR492

First time seeing these around. I think they're brewers blackbirds by size and color. #envir492

I understand teaching how we can use social media to network, but I'm not sure that twitter will continue to be the most appropriate venue.

If this goes through, will #poecap be changing some assignments requirements? Not sure I'll be comfortable continuing with my account with Elon at the helm. #envir492 Tesla CEO Elon Musk is offering to buy Twitter. seattletimes.com/business/tesla…
