The Women in Science forum in Cheyenne, developed
to forge closer ties between female scientists and girls
and young women, will send a terrific message about dreams
and opportunities for creative solutions. Youth from about
fourth grade through high school, from Wyoming, western
Nebraska and northeastern Colorado, will be energized by
a cadre of scientists, including Vickie Nadolski, director
of the National
Weather Service's western region. Weather service forecaster
Jennifer Stark, who also leads the diversity program in
the Cheyenne Warning
and Forecast Office, is working with a team of young
women to spearhead this third annual forum - which was first
dreamed up by Cheyenne meteorologist-in-charge Bill Parker.
Scott Gudes, NOAA's Acting Administrator, is leveraging
the forum with invitations to three young women to visit
Washington, D.C. and meet with NOAA scientists. They'll
be here in June. Joanne Swanson, joanne.swanson@noaa.gov.
