Each year, the American Meteorological Society gives the prestigious Meisinger award to a “young, promising atmospheric scientist who has recently shown outstanding ability.” The 2007 award goes to Amy Clement, a Harmony guest in January and a good friend of Susan and John.
Meisinger, in addition to pioneering early climate research, has a less-fortunate claim to fame: His life ended in a freak hot-air balloon accident.
Anyway, congratulations to Amy, who in addition to being an accomplished meteorologist and oceanographer, also happens to be a fantastic surfer.
Stay tuned for an interview with Dr. Clement about her work.
Also—the photo is of Jasper! That’s Amy and Kenneth’s kid. Photo from Amy.
Yay Amy!
Congratulations on this prestigious award! You are the best and in my book, you deserve 10,000 awards! Thanks for being such a good, inspirational and enlightening friend. And thank you too for calmly, boldly and consistently looking at what’s happening in the world, even while most of us have been too frightened or too unaware to even learn about it. You have taught me so much and have had such a huge impact on my life. I’m grateful for your friendship.
XO,
Susan
