Currently working so I was unable to join the Zoom meeting for graduation, but I got to tune into the livestream on YouTube! Congrats to my fellow #POEgrads2020! We made it! 🎉🎓

48.9 degrees C on the farm (western Vic) yesterday. Cockies falling dead from the trees. People and wildlife cannot withstand the extremes we are already experiencing and this is just 1 degree of warming. We are on track for more than 4. 😔#ClimateEmergency

@KatieSpires1 Phew! Has it really been 3 quarters?... #crazy #ENVIR492

[Bernice Alora @AloraBernice]

@AlexpeckUW Using my time efficiently was one of the biggest challenges I had to face when I was doing my research, so having a more open schedule will definitely help! #ENVIR492

[Bernice Alora @AloraBernice]

I remember being anxious about capstone before and during ENVIR 490 because I had no clue about what to do for my research. However, I’m glad that everything eventually came together and I learned and enjoyed the experience so much more than I anticipated! 😊 #ENVIR492

Ahh... What a journey it really has been. After giving my presentation at the #POEcap symposium, I felt incredibly relieved and proud of the work that I had done, as well as of my cohort and all the amazing efforts that they had put into their projects. #ENVIR492

@alex_zhen Yes to saving salmon!!! Their role in the ecosystem is so incredibly important! #ENVIR492

@rsdurst This is crazy. This map really puts into perspective just how big this problem is!! #ENVIR492

[Bernice Alora @AloraBernice]

Thank you, Li! Li also did an amazing job with her oral presentation— she highlighted the inequalities that POC face when it comes to the safety of their transportation routes. As a commuter and a POC myself, her project really resonated with me! #POEcap #ENVIR492

[Bernice Alora @AloraBernice]

@TheElanWong did such a great job highlighting the importance of funding climate action and the significant role that small funders play! I’m a little late to posting this but I wanted to make a small appreciation post for all the hard work that she’s done ❤️ #ENVIR492 #POEcap

@kszegar Right!! If you want to see the whole map from where I got my info from, here it is: https://t.co/R8oSFnW6ik

Food is one of our basic necessities, and health is (or at least, should be) a human right, and thus we need to help food insecure individuals access nutritious food. #ENVIR492

[Bernice Alora @AloraBernice]

We did it, folks!! Huge thanks to everyone who came out to see my presentation at the #POEcap! I hope you were able to learn something from me. #Foodinsecurity is something that over 40M Americans are facing, and it is a huge issue that we need to address. #ENVIR492

[Bernice Alora @AloraBernice]

@JessicaG253 Thank you for listening!! ☺️

@AloraBernice interned this summer for @barn2door looking into how we can connect food deserts to farms! #envir492 #POEcap

[UW Program on the Environment @uwpoe]

@AloraBernice interned w/Barn2Door for her #POEcap to look at the opportunities for connection b/w nutritious #food sources & food deserts. farms accepting EBT + engaging in direct marketing can help increase access to 🍎🥦🥕 for food insecure individuals in #fooddeserts

[PoE Capstone @POEcap]

@AloraBernice worked with @barn2door to investigate direct farm marketing and #urban #foodinsecurity. More on the organization here: https://t.co/tUQJsRbxWu #POEcap

[PoE Capstone @POEcap]

Can direct farm marketing combat #foodinsecurity and #urban #fooddeserts? @AloraBernice will share her work with @barn2door today. Join us for the @uwpoe #Capstone Symposium today (Nov 20). Follow along with #POEcap! Details -> https://t.co/s9r1rLyzVK
