11 years has gone by REALLY fast. When I started on the @wsdot_traffic account, I didn't really know what I was doing. I just tried to present info in a way I'd want to get it. Fortunately, it resonated with many of you, and I'm so thankful for that. (1/7)

Thanks for a great quarter y’all!! Not gonna lie, I only signed up for this class because it was the only one that worked with my schedule, but it turned out awesome :) #ENVIR400

@okimotosaho I loved your talk about recognizing native lands this past Wednesday!!! I had one more question, if that’s alright. What are your thoughts on #UW’s land acknowledgment? What else could the university be doing?

[Timo @Timobay_]

@arianicw Hey!!! I’m mostly wondering what that the urgency looks like in Washington State. I don’t know how much that narrows it down.. Also, you point out a lot of policy changes that can take place, but what about changes on a consumer level?

[Timo @Timobay_]

Hey @arianicw! Just read your paper on Cannabis and the environment. I was wondering which of the 6 impact pathways presented needs to be addressed most urgently?

Are you actually partnering with black scientists? Are folks in the affected community a part of every facet of your research? Environmental communication isn’t as hard when the process is genuine.
