Join us on Mon, Jan 26th at 10 AM in the Poster Hall Connection Lounge for 'Weathering Bias: Women and Allies in Atmospheric Science'! We will sip and engage in conversation about biases that can surface in professional settings, but this can also be a great space to meet someone new. See you there!

We are so glad to hear you have loved attending this event and hope to see you again this upcoming year! Will you be in Houston?!

You will still be able to find Marybeth volunteering with us in the future when able, but we are so thankful to have had her leadership and good vibes over the past 6 years! (5/5) #amswomen #ams2025 #amsbraid #womeninstem

During her time on the Women’s committee, she has found the community and sense of belonging has brought her the most joy (especially during the Annual Meeting events). If you haven’t made it to one of our events, Marybeth ensures you “our events provide an immediate sense of belonging”! (4/5)

Outside of working hours, she loves paddle boarding (when it is warm outside!) and running in tutus. 💃🏻 Though Marybeth has recently stepped down to make space for new leadership opportunities, she remains active in the AMS community co-chairing BRAID’s Accessibility Committee! (3/5)

Our first spotlight is Marybeth Arcodia who has been on the committee for 6 years (2019–2025). On the day-to-day you can find Marybeth at Colorado State University (go 🐏!) where she works as a Research Scientist I in climate variability and predictability. (2/5)

After sharing an amazing @ametsoc.bsky.social Annual Meeting with everyone and meeting so many new faces in NOLA, we thought it would be a great time to introduce the amazing women that make events like the workshop and luncheon possible! Follow this thread to meet our first member spotlight! (1/5)

Today is the day! Make your way over to room 208 in the Morial Convention Center at 1:45 PM CT for 'Women in the Field: Navigating Gender Dynamics in Extreme Weather Pursuits' with the @ams-women.bsky.social and @girlswhochase.com.

Answers to polling question

Yesterday’s first-ever #AMS2025 storm chasing training was packed & so incredibly fun! We even got to do @tornatrix.bsky.social’s radar dance 🤓📡

Check out the group’s response to the polling question “why should meteorologists consider storm chasing?”

Eight panelists in front of a projected slide reading “Full STEAM Ahead”

Sustaining students from diverse backgrounds is just as important as recruitment. #AMS2025 — @professoroyola.bsky.social

We are extremely appreciative this event is in high demand each year, but it does have a LIMITED CAPACITY. The first 350 will receive lunch, but the doors will remain open for ~500.

We encourage all to use this time for making connections and networking with those around you! #AMS2025 #AMSwomen
