An end of this saga for me (for now?), however there are still NOAA employees without their jobs back.
I am extremely grateful to have mine back.

I want to help clarify what is known. Reply below, will respond. We are stronger together.

I’ve searched for this before, but couldn’t find what I was looking for. So I made my own!
I think lists could be super helpful for people interested in certain aspects of Atmospheric Sciences to break into those fields, getting to know people / what they’re working on.
Thoughts? Very much WIP.

All this idiocy happening recently… just gotta keep going, one foot in front of the other. Not allowed to give in or give up.
I’ll have my down days, but gotta keep remembering the good ones.
Speaking of, you may or may not recognize this classic from June 2023…

I’m curious how other offices are trying to improve IDSS with the incoming? Ops Model 2.0.
I think NWS 2.0 (the slack) is a great avenue. Some combination of updates with question/answers in the WFO main chat with reactions to show if it’s being seen, + partners using canvas page for regular use.

Ever wanted to watch tornadogenesis in model space?
I’m excited I’ve finally been able to work on research. I’ve enjoyed my times as a GTA, but I can tell I also have a passion for this too.
HOPEFULLY this video doesn’t compress super bad
