The American Meteorological Society (AMS) colloquium targets graduate students, faculty, and professionals in the atmospheric sciences. Julia Bradley-Cook, Alexandra Giese, and Gifford Wong attended sessions designed to provide an overview of policy basics and how decisions are made that influence the course and future of atmospheric science. The colloquium also provided opportunities for participants to talk with the federal officials, Congressional staffers’ and others who make those decisions.
