Storytellers of STEMM: Dr Emily Smith (Episode 19)



Episode #19 was released today, and is available on Anchor, Spotify, Apple, Google Podcasts, Pocket Casts, Overcast, Breaker, and RadioPublic.




The third episode of Earth Week is live! Dr Emily Oceans Smith is a program manager working with NOAA to manage long-term oceanography programs. She talks about the programs, what a program manager does, and also the lagniappe story about how she achieved her goals and got to where she is today!







I always share lots of links and information on my Twitter (@flyingcypress) and on the Storytellers of STEMM Facebook Page, but I also will consolidate it here!

  • Emily was featured in the #WomenofNOAA Spotlight Series, which talks about her work and the Women in Sciences Leadership Workshop she runs. It'll be happening again in the fall of 2020 so if you're interested in that stay tuned!
  • Emily's most recent paper is titled "Treading Water: Tools to Help US Coastal Communities Plan for Sea Level Rise Impacts"
  • One of the NOAA programs is Argo - a set of over 3000 oceanic robots that floats underwater collecting temperature & salinity profile data for 9 days, surfaces to transmit, then repeats that process.
  • Argo goes to 2000m deep, while it's partner program Deep Argo goes to 6000m deep. 
  • Emily was a Knauss Fellow, with NOAA. Dr Lauren Morris (Episode 6) also was a Knauss Fellow. If you want to learn more, listen to Episode 6 where we talk about that program extensively, or check out: https://seagrant.noaa.gov/Knauss-Fellowship-Program
  • I work in coastal environments, which are the first to be inundated with rising seas, so this program in particular is interesting to me! It's the GLOSS Sea Level Program, with stations worldwide!
