CMOS 51st Congress - Future Earth Interviews Canadian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society The Canadian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society's 51st Congress (CMOS Congress) was held from June 4th to 8th, 2017 at the Downtown Hilton Toronto, Ontario. The theme of the congress was "Future Earth: Weather, Oceans, Climate". The congress brought together hundreds of scientists and professionals from across Canada and other countries, with a focus on topics in atmospheric, ocean and earth sciences. Interviews, by Dr. Sarah Knight of the Congress Communications Team, with some of CMOS' top scientists on subjects ranging from sea ice to climate change resiliency, were conducted in the run-up to the Congress in June. CMOS continues to actively work to share the expertise of its members through the new, online, CMOS Bulletin (http://bulletin.cmos.ca).

It can be very difficult as well if you are neurodivergent. Thoughts from the state of confusion is a humorous look at the world of communication through signs, sayings, phrases, and attempts to dive in and just ponder comically what is being said in the messaging. Additionally, we also will talk about quirky roadside attractions, artificial intelligence, and have satirical advertisements throughout our series.The show is hosted by Ludwik "Lud" Kozlowski, Jr. and Annette Mencer who promise to bring a quirky and funny sense of humor to the world while at times also have a serious discussion from time to time. We hope you will enjoy the show and have an open mind. Just make sure your brains don't fall out!
