Warren M. Washington National Center for Atmospheric Research NCAR September 25, 2012 Diversity in the Sciences and NCAR: A Very Brief History

Overview Brief history of diversity and my involvement Why is diversity important? 1960s and now. Career Development: Critical elements that helped launch my career: hurdles/challenges Advice to early career scientists and staff What is the history of NCAR’s contributions in this area? Leadership and science positions Before SOARS and SOARS now

From Istockphoto.com The real world is made up of many races and cultures. The world is getting flat as demonstrated by travel, internet, and trade. No culture lives in isolation. We can live in a multi-cultural world and still maintain our culture.

Before SOARS and SOARS now SOARS (Significant Opportunities in Atmospheric Research and Science) Minorities students from undergraduate to graduate with hands on science, mentoring, and research experience 147 students since 1996, many master and PhD graduates

My Early Experiences My childhood, high school, college, graduate school Joining NCAR….how I was selected Working with Akira Kasahara on building early NCAR atmospheric models Interactions with broader community encouraged by early founders of UCAR and NCAR. Before SOARS and SOARS now

A young climate modeler!

Akira Kasahara and Me

Advice for young and old staff Continue to develop your expertise Contribute to “larger” efforts as well to just what you are involved in. Various ladders, have made it more difficult, but that’s NCAR/UCAR modern way. Continue to learn

Professions: Public Trust From National Science Board S & E Indicators (2012) We are high!

The End Thank you for asking me to speak.
