The livestream has one message: “Let’s maintain funding for weather and climate science so we can keep providing the forecasts that you need to live safely and thrive.” The schedule will feature meteorologists and climate scientists from across the U.S., including some who have done work for NOAA or NASA and panels with experts from the American Meteorological Society. Among the University of Michigan speakers are Professor Emeritus Richard Rood, Alumnus Jeff Masters, and Alumnus Evan Oswald.
