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

[Ashton Pieris @PierisAshton]

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

[Ashton Pieris @PierisAshton]

@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

[Ashton Pieris @PierisAshton]

@pranavbhardwaj_ presented his #PoEcap project on how technology can support environmental literacy! Check out this link to find out more about cyberscience: https://t.co/d1ATvmsdnk

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

[Ashton Pieris @PierisAshton]

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

[Ashton Pieris @PierisAshton]

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

[Ashton Pieris @PierisAshton]

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

[Ashton Pieris @PierisAshton]

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

[Ashton Pieris @PierisAshton]

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

[Ashton Pieris @PierisAshton]

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

[Ashton Pieris @PierisAshton]

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

[Ashton Pieris @PierisAshton]

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

[Ashton Pieris @PierisAshton]

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

[Ashton Pieris @PierisAshton]

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

[Ashton Pieris @PierisAshton]

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

[Ashton Pieris @PierisAshton]

@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

[Ashton Pieris @PierisAshton]

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