Women in Weather

The American Astronautical Society and the American Meteorological Society, in conjunction with Northrop Grumman, are hosting a Google hangout entitled “Women in Weather”. This hangout is taking place tomorrow, March 25th, at 12:00 pm ET. The Google hangout will feature female Meteorologists all across the field discussing both issues and opportunities in the workforce.

The women featured in this event are listed below:

As emphasized on the event’s website,

According to the National Science Foundation, out of the 14,000 professionals employed in atmospheric sciences, only 2,000 are women.

That’s only 14 percent.

I am personally aspiring to be part of this 14% and am glad that Northrop Grumman is presenting on such a topic; it should be a great event! For more information, visit Northrop Grumman’s website.
