1st semester of PhD✅
Some highlights I never would have believed if you told me in August:
*Beautiful aurora display
*First time on @foxweather!
*One of the snowiest starts to winter in Champaign-Urbana
*Learned how to do social science research thanks to @LatinWx
Our new @ametsoc BAMS paper explores how our field is adapting to the digital era, how the AMS Certified Digital Meteorologist (CDM) Seal has advanced standards across platforms. We also pose key questions for the future!

Our paper ends with big questions for the field such as:
- How do audiences define credibility and trust online?
- What kinds of digital content actually motivate action during hazards?
- How can universities train meteorologists for a world where anyone can “forecast”? ❄️📲
We hope this paper continues this convo during such a pivotal time for our field! The digital era is a new opportunity for us all🌩️📲
Thank you to our fantastic research team for bringing this to life: @JakeCarstens, @EricaGrowCei, @JoeMartWx, @EWolffWX, and @RenataOMGomes_
Take a break & connect. Join BRAID & CHALA at the AMS Cafecito con los Científicos Connection Lounge in the Poster Hall C - behind the registration desk) - until 4:30pm. Hispanic and Latinx Scientists will be hanging out at the couches behind the posters!
Excited to be on several abstracts at #AMS2025 this year, including two talks I'll be giving.
The first is this afternoon at 4:45 pm in Room 206. Come see the work @seth_goodnight, @BlindLeanne, @LatinWx, and I have been doing to better understand tornado emergency criteria
Don’t miss our session discussing opportunities for early career professionals to get involved with AMS!
4:30pm on January 13th!
@AMSBoSA@amsbraid@ametsoc
Good Morning Y'all!
Join @BrianWxFLA and a "panel of rockstars" as they discuss how to be good stewards in communicating weather hazards!

…and I reflect on the evolving field of multilingual #riskcomm 🌎
With #tsunami warnings issued for parts of
#California and #Oregon, it is important the multilingual public receives lifesaving info.
