@umbcinfosystems @UMBC @NASA @NOAA @CUBoulder @uafairbanks @NSIDC "My biggest inspiration comes from Science itself. Just like the ever-evolving field, I recommend anyone taking this career path to focus on developing transdisciplinary skills that can contribute in more than one field of science, so that you are not confined to one discipline.".

@umbcinfosystems @UMBC @NASA @NOAA @CUBoulder @uafairbanks @NSIDC "I am interested in projects that will harness the collective knowledge of diverse disciplines (Glaciology, Atmospheric Physics, Data Science, and Earth Science) and address pressing societal challenges faced by communities in the polar regions.".

@umbcinfosystems @UMBC @NASA @NOAA @CUBoulder @uafairbanks @NSIDC "My husband feels proud that I am contributing to the Science focused on the global climate, while there are still so many people in the world ignorant to the impact of climate change."

@umbcinfosystems @UMBC @NASA @NOAA @CUBoulder @uafairbanks @NSIDC "and have served as student advisor and founding members for two prominent committees at UMBC. When I am not working, I am out with my husband exploring nature or trying out a new local eatery. My mom (a high-school English teacher) is my biggest admirer and so is my husband.".

@umbcinfosystems @UMBC @NASA @NOAA @CUBoulder @uafairbanks @NSIDC "My eagerness to work on ideas with social impact, along with technologies that open doors for innovation and inter-disciplinary research, is what keeps me going. I am an advocate for graduate student wellbeing and success,"

@umbcinfosystems @UMBC "My pursuit of finding data-driven solutions to complex polar science problems led me to work with researchers in @NASA, @NOAA and multiple academic institutions (@CUBoulder @uafairbanks @NSIDC).".

@umbcinfosystems @UMBC ". working on the identification and quantification of causes of sea-ice and ice-sheet melt in the Arctic, with the aid of deep learning based causal inference models and domain science experts."

@umbcinfosystems @UMBC "I was born in Karachi, Pakistan and came to the United States in 2020 to pursue higher education. Currently, I am leading one of iHARP’s interdisciplinary research teams. ".

Meet Sahara Ali! "I am a Data Science PhD candidate in Information Systems (@umbcinfosystems) at @UMBC and a graduate researcher at NSF HDR Institute for Harnessing Data and Model Revolution in the Polar Regions (iHARP)."

"You will always face challenges that are uniquely difficult for you, and the best thing you can do for yourself is to reach out to folks who not only will give you heartwarming advice but also will not shy away from providing healthy criticism of your actions.".

"The next research I plan to do will take me to the North Atlantic, where I will explore changes recorded in the sediments resulting in climatic changes in Iceland and Greenland."

"I tend to play a lot of role-playing games; I have been trying to finish Assassin's Creed, and Valhalla for quite some time. I mostly cook South and East Asian dishes; it makes me feel a little closer to the community I was raised in.".

"and after completing my Master's degree, I helped manage STEM programs for K-12 audiences. Outside of working on research, I enjoy cooking, playing video games, painting, and playing with my dog."

"This advice opened doors to new possibilities and led me to discover my passion for teaching in informal environments. Through my Associate, Bachelor's, and master's degrees, I worked at Liberty Science Center,"

"They taught me that when one door closes, it becomes challenging for us to recognize potential opportunities. Thus, it's essential to keep an open mind to new ventures.".

"As a member of an underrepresented group, I had to work harder to convince my family that my career path was viable. However, amidst the challenges, I received valuable advice from a professor at a community college."

"My current work utilized sediment cores retrieved by the IODP Exp. 341 in the Gulf of Alaska, where I am working to develop a radiocarbon chronology for the past 50,000 years using a new method called Geomagnetic Network Analysis.".

Meet Deepa Dwyer! . "I was born and raised in India; my family moved to the USA when I was 10 years old. For most of my life, I have been interested in the sciences, though specific topics have shifted between Physics, Astrophysics and now oceanography."
