🚨 BREAKING NEWS 🚨

Harvard scientists today announced a study where they were able to piece together that you are much too hard on yourself, trying to fulfill many unreasonable expectations.

You are awesome the way you are. You are loved. You have worth. Tell a friend you appreciate them. Be kind.

NCAR and NOAA have not only served US and Global Atmospheric science through state of the art research but also provided various atmospheric research tools freely for researchers around the world, my own research group has benefitted from many of these, this is a time to acknowledge and support !

In my experience of serving on national and international science steering committees the best , balanced, well thought and above all most helpful inputs have come from women colleagues 😀, if only more glass ceilings for leadership positions could be smashed for them, we would all do better!

The words will resonate for many scientists working in the global south/ less privileged insts...tokenism runs high...but to expect science which is also a human driven enterprise to be any different from other sectors is utopian perhaps..hope Science remains better off than other domains...
