If you're interested in operationally-focused machine learning predictions, check out our paper (now available in its final version)!
I'm excited to announce my first, first-author paper went into EOR! Along with Nathan Snook, @DJGagneDos, @sarahmccorkle_ , and @profamymcgovern, we calibrated #MachineLearning models to produce more trustworthy hail predictions. https://t.co/z1cKsJoiWa

Norman hail storm from the 7-11 on Robinson and 12th. It sounded like a freight train coming well before the first hail stone hit the parking lot. Insane. @ReedTimmerAccu @MikeMorganKFOR @emilyrsutton

Call these murders what they are: white supremacy. Then figure out how to divest from it.

"We assume that academic research is a meritocracy... This is a fallacy. I’ve seen the shoulder tapping, the unwritten rules and the lack of access. What you know is important, but it’s far outweighed by who you know." @shaineNeuro for @wellcometrust:

Some are labeling equity and justice for non-white people as anti-white bigotry. If other races being liberated from inhumanity feels like bondage to you, then you’ve probably been complicit in, as well as a cultivator and benefactor of, white supremacy.

MLK didn’t die for our sins. He was murdered. He didn’t protest for a day off in January. He protested white supremacy. He didn’t create cute quotes. He illustrated a (still) unjust world through words. Today we remember a great man by continuing his legacy. Not by quoting him.

Lots of talk about #MinimumWage being $15. Let’s go for a walk here. Fun fact, average US rent is roughly $1500 /mo. That’s a 52 work week at $7.25 /hr JUST TO PAY RENT. 2 gal of milk or 6 gal of gas is an hrs worth of work. 1/8

The comments and quote tweets from this article are ... infuriating. We are NOT making these things up 😠 and women sure as hell don't "belong in the kitchen" if we complain.
Women and minorities in weather and climate fields confront harassment, lack of inclusion

I'm glad AMS is talking more about racism in the field, but hope its not only talk but action too.
#AMS2021 kicks off Sunday 10 January with the Presidential Forum: Building a Culture of Anti-Racism in the Weather, Water & Climate Community, with moderator AMS President @mary_glackin & a panel featuring @Dr_MelissaBurt, @vernon_morris, and @NWSDirector. https://t.co/8GqBCPZSK5
