WeatherBrains 283: Back Hair and Catheter
WeatherBrains Episode 283 is now online (June 27, 2011). If you are crazy about weather, this is THE netcast audio program for you!
Tonight’s Guest WeatherBrain needs no introduction to our audience. He is a graduate of the Pennsylvania State University. His graduate degrees came from the University of Chicago, where he studied under the legendary Theodore Fujita. He taught at Penn State, became a Fellow of the AMS, and has authored two books on forecasting and disasters. He has been on the team at The Weather Channel where he is known as StormMasterG. It is with great pleasure we welcome the Severe Weather Expert at The Weather Channel, Dr. Greg Forbes, to WeatherBrains.
Other discussions in this weekly podcast include topics like:
