Episode 38: Recap of #AMS2018

January 23, 2018

The American Meteorological Society Annual Meeting is billed as the "world's largest yearly gathering for the weather, water, and climate community."  For Castle and Minh, it's a great opportunity to learn about new research, connect with folks in the weather and climate world, and most importantly to reunite with old friends. There are so many things happening at AMS every year, and there's absolutely no way we could spend roughly an hour going over every single detail. But, we tried to cover some of the highlights from this year, especially ideas surrounding the conference theme, "Transforming Communication in the Weather, Water, and Climate Enterprise Focusing on Challenges Facing Our Sciences." This was to be the meeting that would be presided over the late AMS President and a friend, Matt Parker. We talk about our own personal efforts to make Matt proud and to talk about important issues in our community revolving communication. That and so much more on Episode 38!
