Kari Bowen, CIESRDS scientific and administrative manager, hosted students at the NOAA building from the Exploratory Studies Program at CU Boulder. The students took a tour at NOAA and especially enjoyed the opportunity to talk with National Weather Service forecasters.

Students were interested in hearing about meteorological career pathways, and how AI might impact these opportunities.
