It's very exciting to see one of the Women's Committee members (@ana_joy_wx) and collaborator (@GirlsWhoChase's Jen Walton) featured in last week's AMS Headlines! The article highlights their backgrounds and experience working together on GWC and @DOWFacility field research! 🌪️
What's it like to put yourself in the path of a tornado 🌪️?
Jen Walton and Anastasia Tomanek are part of both @GirlsWhoChase and the @DOWFacility team, pursuing up-close scientific measurements of severe storms.

One of the joys of last week's AMS SLS was getting to host another Queer Gatherings (QG) event w/ @Chasin_Jason! These events seek to build community amongst LGBTQ+ scientists at specialty meetings. Got to meet so many bright scientists whose work and hearts shine equally bright!
AMS BRAID retweeted
For those still finalizing their SLS plans, consider stopping by our QG event on Monday afternoon in the Goodman room (next to Big Band Pre Function). Whether you're a part of the community or an ally, come join @Chasin_Jason and I to chat and get a Coriolis pin for your lanyard!
Resuming our #31SLS special conference event highlights - we are happy to share that AMS Coriolis has organized a Queer Gatherings coffee for Monday, Oct 21 at 4:15 PM ET! 🏳️🌈 Feel free to DM @Chasin_Jason with any questions!

Incredibly honored to be featured by @ametsoc for Hispanic Heritage Month.
Growing up, I didn’t think being a scientist was possible because I didn’t have role models to look up to. This is why I advocate for accessibility and inclusivity in our field. Representation matters!
#HispanicHeritageMonth Spotlight: Ariana Elena Castillo (@arianaelena97) is a meteorologist and PhD Candidate at @Harvard.
She is an active member of AMS's Committee for Hispanic and Latinx Advancement Committee (CHALA), Accessibility Committee, and @AMSMiddleAtmos.
