Dr. Daphne LaDue, Senior Research Scientist, University of Oklahoma
I have an infectious passion for, and curiosity about science involving the natural world and how we live within it. My background in physics and atmospheric science includes work on a wide range of research from studying the radiation budget over the Sahara and Saudi Arabian deserts to mesospheric ozone chemical kinetics, atmospheric precipitable water, and severe storm tracking. The past 13 years of my career led me back to research emerging scientific and societal issues of how emergency managers and weather forecasters think about and make decisions from weather data.
