April 10: Gretchen Watkins, former Shell USA president, will deliver Penn State’s G. Albert Shoemaker Lecture in @pennstateeme, sharing insights on leadership in a rapidly changing energy landscape. buff.ly/HNII0ib

March 27 Miller Lecture: UCLA scholar Shannon Speed will discuss violence against Indigenous women and how research, human rights and sovereignty can drive change. A powerful, research-driven talk from @psugeography psu.edu/news/earth-and…

. @PennStateEME Ph.D. student Qian Zhang has been awarded the Nico van Wingen Memorial Graduate Fellowship — an international honor given to just 1–2 students worldwide. Her research focuses on unconventional reservoirs and enhanced oil recovery. psu.edu/news/earth-and…

Do soda taxes affect beer sales? On March 25, economist Xiaoyong Zheng will discuss how Berkeley’s soda tax led to a ~9% drop in beer purchases — driven by cross-border shopping, not consumption. A fascinating look at policy ripple effects. buff.ly/4daR4mt

. @psumeteo researchers just captured something never seen before. ⚡ Treetops emitting ultraviolet “sparkles” during thunderstorms 📸 First-ever real-world observation 📰 Featured in @SmithsonianMag This could reshape how we understand our atmosphere. smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/tre…

10 grad students. 3 minutes each. Big ideas, real impact. Penn State’s 3MT final (March 28) turns complex research into compelling stories you can actually understand—and vote on. 🎤 Come see the future of research communication in action. buff.ly/1Onq687

@pennstateeme student Sofia Hoffman spent a month in Ecuador with Kichwa communities to document contamination linked to oil extraction. Her work with @psugeography's Belén Noroña shows how engineering, Indigenous knowledge, research can come together. psu.edu/news/earth-and…

Research highlighted by National Today shows irrigation gaps in weather models may skew air quality forecasts. Improving these models could help better predict pollution exposure. Poor air quality contributes to ~100,000 premature U.S. deaths each year. nationaltoday.com/us/ca/san-joaq…

Research highlighted by The Debrief shows Martian ice could preserve signs of life for 50 million years. Our geoscientist Chris House co-authored the study, which suggests future missions may need to drill into subsurface ice to search for biosignatures. thedebrief.org/nasa-study-sug…

Student meteorologist Liz Plumb takes a closer look at what's involved with the broadcast meteorology career path - including some duties you may not realize: youtu.be/0GB8OyGAdws @WPSU @pcntv @PSUEMS

Check out @psumeteo's Patrick McFarland discussing his corona research with Fox Weather. Near-invisible sparkles appearing on trees during storms caught on camera | Latest Weather Clips | FOX Weather foxweather.com/watch/fmc-0i7n… #FoxWeather

We're excited to promote @FilippoFwx to the role of full student forecaster on the show! Filippo made his debut with a busy weekend forecast on Friday - and did a great job of telling the PA weather story. Expect to see more of him in the coming months! @WPSU @pcntv @PSUEMS

THANK YOU to the viewers who donated to @WPSU last night during our show! With 33 generous contributions, we met the challenge by the Centre Lions Foresight Committee & raised a total of $7,988 to help support public broadcasting in central PA, which makes our show possible!

Congrats to these great members of the EMS staff! psu.edu/news/earth-and…

. @psumeteo researchers found irrigation gaps in models could skew air quality forecasts. Improving this could help agencies better predict pollution events. With poor air quality tied to ~100,000 premature U.S. deaths each year, better forecasts matter. buff.ly/aRmUqbU

March 4 talk: Economist James Sears explores how households respond to changing utility prices and what that means for energy policy, affordability and the future of energy systems. buff.ly/B6Jv2NM
