Tonight's Guest WeatherBrain is currently a Ph.D. student at Virginia Tech studying different aspects of the weather warning process. Jen Henderson is studying different aspects of the weather warning process looking at the historical origins of technologies that influence forecasting today; she learns from meteorologists about how they conduct the day-to-day operations of keeping people safe from severe weather; she studies how students learn to become meteorologists and atmospheric scientists; and she considers different technical, ethical, and sociopolitical issues that arise as these experts interact with different kinds of publics. At its most basic, I follow those experts who follow the weather. Tonight's Guest Panelist is the morning/midday Meteorologist at KHAS-TV in Hastings, NE. Travis Klanecky has his Bachelor of Science degree in Meteorology/Climatology from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Travis joined the Skywatch 5 Weather Team in June, 2008. He is a St. Paul native.
