Only the first day of main conference, but I'm already SO impressed with everyone I've heard speak. Very proud to be in this field. #AMS2017

my favorite part about the meteorology conference every year is being at a bar until 2am geeking out about weather. #AMS2017

When meteorologists get rowdy we do the wave in the line for the exhibition hall opening at #AMS2017

Is it Black Friday or the Grand Opening of the Exhibit Hall? Who knows🤔#AMS2017 pic.twitter.com/KQnjyO4Tm4

I'm inspired at #AMS2017 by the diversity of people from around the US and the world of all genders, backgrounds, and expertise.

Atmos scientists: if you start feeling down, remember that even Rich Rotunno (basically our best scientist) has impostor syndrome. #AMS2017 pic.twitter.com/PkVSkgulpJ

#AMS2017 is over, but I'm re-energized by the Fountain of Youth. Legions of hungry young meteorologists/others ready to lead. Let's go!
