Talk with meteorology experts Laura Tobin and Professor Andrew Charlton-Perez OBE on career paths in the field.
The Abbey School in Reading is hosting a talk on meteorology on Wednesday 11 November, starting at 5:00 PM. It's a chance to hear from two people who've spent their careers working with the weather: Laura Tobin and Professor Andrew Charlton-Perez OBE.
If you've watched the weather forecast on TV, you'll recognise Laura Tobin. She's one of the most familiar faces in British broadcasting when it comes to the forecast, and she'll be there alongside Professor Andrew Charlton-Perez, who brings the academic side of things to the table. Together they'll be talking about career paths in meteorology — what it actually takes to get into the field, the different directions a career in weather can take, and what the day-to-day work looks like.
It's a bit of a rare pairing to have a broadcast meteorologist and a professor in the same room, and that's where the talk gets its legs. You'll get the perspective of someone who presents the weather to millions of people and someone who works on the science behind it, so it should cover both the public-facing side and the research side of the profession. If you've ever wondered how you actually make a living out of studying the atmosphere, this is exactly the kind of conversation that spells it out.
