@MelissaBerke Thank you, Melissa! I couldn’t have done it without you and Dana. I’d love to catch up and share my findings sometime!

From #firstgen college student to Dr. Schmidt-Simard! And thanks to the wonders of modern technology, my 97-year-old grandma got to attend my family’s first-ever dissertation defense presentation. It was a good day ✨👩🏻‍🔬 #PhinisheD

@MelEiriniPadley Omg the bottom-right one

[Karly Schmidt-Simard @Quercus_hobbita]

I usually plot in MATLAB, but this (and especially #ggcats) might change my mind...

@MelEiriniPadley This is the content I check twitter for 🙌

Want to learn about 💧 isotopes and storm tracks in the PNW using a long-term, high-resolution dataset ✨? Check out my poster (PP003-0007) happening now @theAGU! My chat is open all day, and I'll have a live session from 1200-1600 EST (0900-1300 PST). 'See' you there! #AGU2020

@Lucas91906 @NHC_Atlantic Stop trying to discredit the experts. We know Laura is catastrophic regardless of whether it’s Category 4 or 5 right now. Let’s focus on that instead.

[Dakota Smith @weatherdak]

Incredibly stunning satellite visual of a dangerous storm.

Hurricane Laura.

[Karly Schmidt-Simard @Quercus_hobbita]

@coshjoupe @BradenPittsIndy @B_Koehler3 @AntBonney @NHC_Atlantic It’s def fun (I say this as a climatologist trained in forecasting); I think the issue is when it’s at the forefront of the convo about a given storm.

[Karly Schmidt-Simard @Quercus_hobbita]

@BradenPittsIndy @coshjoupe @B_Koehler3 @AntBonney @NHC_Atlantic Precisely what I was getting at in an earlier comment! Lots of armchair meteorologists love to speculate about this stuff, sometimes to the detriment of folks actually listening to the experts.

[Karly Schmidt-Simard @Quercus_hobbita]

@B_Koehler3 @coshjoupe @AntBonney @NHC_Atlantic Hmmm interesting since only sustained is considered for categorization

[Karly Schmidt-Simard @Quercus_hobbita]

@B_Koehler3 @coshjoupe @AntBonney @NHC_Atlantic Gust or sustained?

[Karly Schmidt-Simard @Quercus_hobbita]

@B_Koehler3 @AntBonney @NHC_Atlantic All signs sure point to that, but I don���t think it’s useful to jump the gun and call it Cat 5 before it’s officially designated. We already know it’s catastrophic, and I think a lot of ppl yelling Cat 5 just want the excitement
