Tweet of the Century... I'm not joking I am of the opinion we "generally" do a GOOD job with research and forecasting Getting the public to understand (and act upon) it is the tougher problem And it doesn't help we live in our stovepiped, ivory towers GET OUT AND COMMUNICATE!

The disparity that scientists face includes the fact that not many people can communicate scientific research in a way that is translatable to people with no background of the field. Bridging the gap between atmo science and the gen public is inherently important.
