@BrandyDo1 Everything you learn can be applied in some form or another later on. i.e. the critical thinking, scientific research, and analysis skills I developed are being used for spotting inconsistencies in the non-scientific things I review for work. #PoECap

[Sungkun Choi @Kunyc_]

@iBrendaaaa Also be sure to run it by @pseanmc as , if memory serves, there were certain requirements for outside internships.

[Sungkun Choi @Kunyc_]

@meghan_strom Not in particular, just be polite, prompt, responsive, and make sure to fulfill your responsibilities as best you can. Also ask questions, supervisors know and understand that it may be their interns first time doing an internship.

[Sungkun Choi @Kunyc_]

@AnnaLouiseMcKee For 2, peruse through past projects and read the titles and abstracts to get an idea of what they were about and check who the advisor was. If you’re interested in doing a similar topic reach out. Otherwise you could ask your profs for referrals/look through staff lists online.

[Sungkun Choi @Kunyc_]

@ddeegiizaya Browse linkedin, check the WA state government postings, you can also just google “[type of internship] in WA 2018” or something to that effect.

[Sungkun Choi @Kunyc_]

@EMaesner Depends on how you decide to use the experiences and (or) final products. I know it certainly helped me when it came to answering interview questions.

[Sungkun Choi @Kunyc_]

@JKDoyle3 I used it as example for answering some interview questions i.e. tell us about a time you faced multiple deadlines and how you handled it?
The product is important for sure but the experiences you gain can be applied for any sector.

[Sungkun Choi @Kunyc_]

@arendjelouter I did #SciComm and #stormwater research. It was difficult reconciling the two topics for the synthesis as I chose them separately. But I just kept asking questions to @pseanmc , my super and my adviser and made it through. Moral of the story ask lots of questions! #PoEAlumni

things that you like, don't like, (i.e. I don't like being at a cubicle for 8 hrs, I enjoy being in the field some days and being at a desk on others, etc.)

As we are nearing the end of #ENVIR492 I just wanted to offer some last min tips for #ENVIR490 / #ENVIR491 students. For the full list see the tweet thread.
1. Don't be afraid to ask questions, no matter how little or unrelated it may seem.

[Sungkun Choi @Kunyc_]

9. Make sure to figure out who else you can go to with questions at your internship, in case your site supervisor is not available.
10. Reflect. For those of you who are unsure about what sort of job you want in the future, this is your chance to gain some baseline info on

Also wanna put this article out there, https://t.co/KCMCqEGZxr, this article provides an in-depth analysis of science communication and provides a "new" definition for it. #SciCommAndAEIOU #ENVIR492
