nice story on ATM professor Sharan Majumdar:

In 1997, Sharanya (“Sharan”) Majumdar was fresh out of Cambridge University with bachelor’s and doctoral degrees in mathematics, eager to enter the atmospheric sciences.

Congratulations to one of our recent graduates, Deelan Jariwala, who received the Rosenstiel Outstanding Research Award this year in recognition of his exceptional contributions to multiple research projects. Pictured below are Deelan and Dr. Christopher Landsea at the AMS Conference on Hurricanes and Tropical Meteorology. During his time at Rosenstiel, Deelan worked with Dr. Landsea on revising historical storms from the 1970s in the Atlantic Hurricane Database (HURDAT), as well as with Michael Fischer on an NSF-funded project focused on vortex alignment. Special thanks to Drs. Landsea and Fischer for their outstanding mentorship and dedication to supporting student research. Best wishes to Deelan as he continues his academic journey working with Dr. Xiaomin Chen at the University of Alabama in Huntsville in the fall.

It's always bittersweet to say goodbye to our seniors. This group was phenomenal. 6/7 participated in independent research projects where they presented their work at conferences, co-authored publications, and will graduate with Departmental Honors. The one that didn't do research was busy producing CanesCast, UM's weather show that is produced by and stars our broadcast Meteorologists. She is heading to Portland, Maine to begin her successful career. Congratulations to all!!

KEEP STEM Talent Act: eases process for green card applicants while keeping vetting strong. Protect America's Workforce Act: protects collective bargaining for the federal scientific workforce. Scientific Integrity Act: protects the integrity of federal scientists from outside interference. We thank US Rep Maria Salazar's office/Whit Blount for taking the time to meet with us.

Our UM AMS chapter was excited to welcome students from FIU along with members of the AMS Greater South Florida Professional chapter to last night's meeting. The event provided an excellent opportunity for students to network with local meteorologists and gain insights from Dr. Wallace Hogsett, Science and Operations Officer at the National Hurricane Center. Dr. Hogsett gave an informative talk about his career, highlighting his experience across both the private sector and the federal government. Thanks to everyone who turned out!
