I’m a stalwart proponent of experiential learning. Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REUs) can literally change students’ lives. Cancelling REUs may appear pennywise, but it is worse than pound-foolish. More like megaton-foolish. It undercuts the cultivation of our future workforce.

All of these accidents are this administration’s fault, but they will switch the narrative and accuse FAA and “DEI” so they can continue to play their agendas. Capitalizing fear and controlling the narrative/communication are basic warfare techniques - and this is war: against their own people.

Sustaining students from diverse backgrounds is just as important as recruitment. #AMS2025 — @professoroyola.bsky.social

Attn weather peeps: the #AMS2025/#AMS25 fun run will happen on Tuesday next week. Leaving from the convention center at 7 am. We'll run 2.5 km north along the river, then return to the convention center for a total of 5 km. All paces welcome; no need to register!

Not experiencing winter conditions during winter is actually a bad thing. Our native ecosystems are adapted to cold and ice cover. Many fruits (e.g., apples, cherries, blueberries) require a certain number of hours with cold temps to properly produce fruit the next season. Cold weather is good.

Probably the windiest day that we've measured since starting to measure wind gusts last year! Widespread 40+ mph gusts and even a 56 mph gust in Kewaskum.

Not only a pollutant, but also potentially impacts weather formation. Nice read!

Four @uwmad-aos.bsky.social students volunteered tonight to inspire junior undergraduates at the #UWMadison Women In Science and Engineering (WISE) poster session, by showcasing their research group projects. Way to go Idamis, Katie, Paige and Shane! #womeninstem

Hi Blue Sky! I'm an atmospheric scientist and university professor at @uwmad-aos.bsky.social. I’m also a former NASA JPL scientist. I do multifaceted research in satellite remote sensing/radiation, with applications to aviation wx and also aerosol impacts on severe wx. I’m also a huge #avgeek.
