Excited to share our new BAMS publication w/ the field! From Facebook to TikTok, weather and climate information has become increasingly digital. Our new BAMS paper charts the rise of digital meteorology, the AMS CDM Seal, and how universities are evolving to meet it. 🌪️🌩️📲 doi.org/10.1175/BAMS...

Fantastic news for the 68.8 million Americans that speak a language other than English at home. The important work continues 🙌🏽

Update: The National Weather Service’s contract to produce common language translations for nws.noaa.gov products has been reinstated. Translation capabilities are expected to be operational on or before the end of the day on Monday, April 28. www.weather.gov noaa.gov

I want to take a moment to thank every friend, mentor, and colleague that made this moment possible. Everyone deserves a chance to receive lifesaving information. In this new role, I look forward to bringing this to even greater heights. Prof. Trujillo-Falcón is truly a dream come true. ❤️

We’re excited to share that Dr. Joseph Trujillo-Falcón will join our regular faculty as an Assistant Professor in Fall 2025! He’ll continue his work on effective risk communication in weather and climate.

68,845,865. That's how many individuals in the United States speak a language other than English at home. Everyone deserves a chance to stay safe during disasters, and I will never stop advocating for that. Thinking of all the communities that are going to be affected by this change.

The National Weather Service will stop issuing forecasts + storm warnings in Spanish after a translation software contract lapsed at midnight Tuesday. Unclear when/if service will return. Scoop with @weathersullivan.bsky.social (free link): www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

An open letter to our fellow meteorologists and climate scientists from our Department Head, Steve Nesbitt

My heart is heavy for my NOAA family tonight. As social science research grows within the agency, many of my dear colleagues working on important societal impacts work have received devastating news. I stand with them and remain committed to advocating for a stronger, more resilient future.

Excited to be on a handful of abstracts at #AMS2025 this year :-) On Monday (4:45 pm in Room 206) I'll be presenting a study @jsgoodni.bsky.social , Leanne Blind-Doskocil, @latinwx.bsky.social, and myself have been working on. Come see how the past decade of tornado emergencies have performed.

THRILLED to introduce my research lab to the field for the very first time at @ametsoc.bsky.social! 🧵A thread of where you can catch the @climasuiuc.bsky.social ALERTAS lab at #AMS2025 🧵

Honored to be featured in @npr.org and uplift the voices of undocumented immigrants. We don't often think about this as risk communicators, but evacuation orders may be leveraged to deport the undocumented in the aftermath of weather and climate disasters. We must find solutions moving forward.

Many undocumented people are not eligible for federal financial disaster aid and several remain fearful even when help is offered.

With #tsunami warnings issued for parts of #California and #Oregon, it is important the multilingual public receives lifesaving info. Our collaborators at the NWS Automated Translation program have developed graphics in English, Spanish, Chinese, & Vietnamese. Visit weather.gov/translate for more.

I have had a ton of time to reflect today & what this means for my work going forward. Immigrants are among the most resilient people in our country. If anything, I feel even more motivated to uplift their perspectives in disaster contexts. A brighter future is only possible if we fight for it. ✊🏽

👀 Introducing my research lab's official webpage 👀 VISIT: publish.illinois.edu/alertaslab/ Check out the innovative work we are advancing at the University of Illinois @climasuiuc.bsky.social and the Department of Communication to ensure weather & climate information is accessible to ALL ⛈️⚠️

Hello, 🔵🌠! Excited to connect on here. So many fantastic updates to share now that I’m at the University of Illinois. Our Advancing Language Equity and Resilience in the Atmospheric Sciences (ALERTAS ⚠️) lab is actively breaking the language barrier for our field! Our website is launching soon… 👀
