Featured in the newest edition of Washington Square The Magazine, Climate Science
student Edgar McGregor is making the world a tidier place, one piece of trash at a
time.
SJSU’s Grad Slam is a three-minute thesis competition (also known as 3MT) that challenges
participants to present their research with one slide in only three minutes in an
engaging way to a non-specialist audience. 2022's Grad Slam was won by WIRC's graduate
student Kate Forrest for her presentation on fire tornadoes. Congrats Kate!
Holt Hanley, a graduate student in the Department of Meteorology and Climate Science
at SJSU, began to release weather analysis videos on YouTube long before grad school
simply to practice his broadcast technique. His practice paid off when a feature article
in a local paper pointed readers to his channel for the most understandable fire weather
analysis the reporter had found. Holt now delivers his critical information to thousands
of Bay Area subscribers who appreciate his well practiced delivery of critical weather
and fire danger news.
