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

[Travis Boyle @TravisB_PoE]

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

@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.

[Travis Boyle @TravisB_PoE]

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

[Travis Boyle @TravisB_PoE]

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

[Travis Boyle @TravisB_PoE]

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. https://t.co/T6oShwsVIr

@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

[Travis Boyle @TravisB_PoE]

@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

[Travis Boyle @TravisB_PoE]

#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.

[Travis Boyle @TravisB_PoE]

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

[Travis Boyle @TravisB_PoE]

If anyone else is struggling with figuring out font sizes on a 40x30 poster, I found a reference at https://t.co/1iSb2PDM6U that helped me. #envir492

[Travis Boyle @TravisB_PoE]

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.

#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

[Travis Boyle @TravisB_PoE]

#poe490 friends - you can add CSE style references to MS Word. MS documentation is at https://t.co/JhxMqYprwa , and github repositories with the XML file are available at https://t.co/JfYInXgb27 and https://t.co/of9JZ85RVG (name sequence vs. citation sequence)

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

[Travis Boyle @TravisB_PoE]

As I wrote last quarter, and the quarter before, we have a lot of resources available through the libraries: https://t.co/E8VAyPfcY1 . Personally I use Web of Science often, as I browse papers and references. #ENVIR492

[Travis Boyle @TravisB_PoE]

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

[Travis Boyle @TravisB_PoE]

@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

[Travis Boyle @TravisB_PoE]

My site supervisor directed me to the Water Research Foundation, @WaterResearch , at https://t.co/LHJlnvYCZb as a resource to use in my #poecap project. #ENVIR492

[Travis Boyle @TravisB_PoE]

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

[Travis Boyle @TravisB_PoE]

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.

[Travis Boyle @TravisB_PoE]

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.
