day 1 of the autumn environmental studies symposium is today! join me during session B if you’d like to learn more about urban agriculture and food insecurity

#POEcap i’m currently in @Nicole_Garces2 break out room learning about machine learning, ecology research, and steller sea lions!

after watching @KateConnelly125’s presentation on artificial intelligence and sea lion population counts, i’m left wondering how the accuracy of detections made by humans compare to the ai’s detections? #POEcap

as someone who doesn’t know a lot about trawling, @katelynsaechao’s presentation was very eye-opening! I learned that nontarget species can make up a significant portion of trawling encounters #POEcap

after not having time to attend @TaylorThao23’s break out room, i’m wondering what is the best approach to mitigating the effects of extreme weather events on fruit trees? #POEcap

during @AvHays12’s presentation, I learned about the steps, such as choosing native plants, to creating salmon friendly greenspaces #POEcap

#POEcap @michaela490’s presentation on composting in faster-food restaurants was very interesting! it was disappointing to learn that many companies were reluctant to respond to survey questions

#POEcap just learned about stormwater runoff and the markings SPU uses for storm drains from @mcgashh , very cool!

how is everyone’s first proposal draft going? i feel kind of distracted with preparing for the undergrad symposium tomorrow #envir490

does anyone have any tips on what to discuss with your site supervisor at the first meeting? #envir490

I struggled a bit with writing my proposal outline after not being able to meet with my site supervisor before it was due. I feel better about getting started on the draft after securing a meeting this week with my supervisor! #envir490

Hi #ENVIR492!! @MaysenWestling, @katelynsaechao, @myasando, and I are presenting at the Undergraduate Research Symposium next Friday, in MGH 231 at 11:30 am. We would love if y’all could attend our presentation! #HuskyResearch

I was able to secure a faculty advisor this week ! i’m excited about it and it definitely takes some pressure off of starting the internship process #envir490

#envir490 #envir492 to anyone who has worked with City Fruit in past capstones, do you have any faculty advisor recommendations? I’m interested in exploring the intersections of #environmentaljustice , #environmentaleducation , and #localfoodsystems

I’m so happy to be working with City Fruit this summer through their education and outreach internship :) I can’t wait to get started and I’m excited to see where this opportunity takes me ! 🍓🍒🍎 #envir490

@NaqviCait congrats! excited to see where your research takes you !

I will be working with Fiddleheads Forest School for my internship! Could not be more excited!! #ENVIR490 #OutdoorEducation

anxiously awaiting finding out which internship i’ll get. it was so difficult for me to rank them! #envir490

@_jasminebarreto yes definitely! i’ve found myself way more interested in a few internships than i initially expected after having interviews with them

After finishing my interviews earlier this week, my rankings have changed again. Have internship rankings changed for any other #ENVIR490? #POEcap

any @envir492 students have tips for writing the 490 proposal ? #POEcap #envir490

@Aliyah_UW i’ve also wondered about this! time management issues and definitely making it hard for me to decide how many credits to take for envir 491 :/

#POEcap For those of us who need to pay rent, how did you manage your time during your internship? I’m worried I won’t be able to do both to the best of my ability.
