 Abovethe Storm to Succeed in a STEM Career
Rising

By Meredith Garofalo
Certified Broadcast Meteorologist (CBM)

I’m your friendly neighborhood meteo-

rologist on a national weather network.
It was a dream I had as a little girl and
that I’m proud to say is now my career!
I get to forecast the weather from coast
to coast into a tiny camera that gets
sent out to millions of people every
single day across numerous platforms,
yet I promise, we probably have more
in common than you might think!

I do my own hair and make-up every

morning for work, shop for the best
bargains on clothes, and start rocking
out to my favorite songs the minute my
car leaves the garage. The coolest part
of all? I’m a scientist!
I chose to go into a STEM career when
I was just three years old! My Mom
told me her story of surviving the F-5
tornado that wiped out Xenia, Ohio
during the Super Outbreak of 1974.
The tornado formed across the street
from where she was and touched down
in the backyard. My Mom worked with
the Red Cross to help victims and it
was at that moment I felt it was my
calling to study severe weather and
storms to help keep people informed
and safe. I think I was the first to make
a “Facebook Live” weather report using
my Fischer Price tape recorder! I con-
tinued to study weather, how the local
meteorologists covered it, and then
got into the morning news in Middle
School doing weather reports. I love
what I do every single day and how I
can make a difference in the lives of
people, storm or sunshine.
As much as I’d love to say the jour-
ney to success had been easy, there
have been a lot of storms I had to get
through to get where I am today. I
struggled as a child as a victim of bul-
lying, and recently opened up in a blog
to share my experience about how I
was able to overcome adversity to suc-
ceed. My self-esteem was very low as
other kids would make fun of the way
I looked and dressed, and that I had
such a love for science and weather.
I’ll never forget how I was referred to
as “four eyes” because I wore glasses,
or as one girl put “the scum between
my toes.” It was quite depressing,
and I spent many nights crying my-
self to sleep and wondering what was
wrong with me because of what others
thought. I was the victim of verbal and
emotional abuse, and so many times I
found my safe place at the library or at
home writing in my journal.
It was a very painful time but because I
had such strong mentors and teachers
that believed in me, as well as being
a Girl Scout, I kept focused on what I
wanted to do with my life and never
allowed myself to give up. When you
find the positive moments in life, even
when many times you feel like you
are stuck in the dark, it will always be
the guiding light to move onward and
upward. As any teenager knows, high
school can be one of the most difficult
or exciting times of his or her life. I
wasn’t part of the popular crowd, but I
was very active in sports, music, and of
course continuing to pursue my dream
as a meteorologist.
Because of my experiences in elemen-
tary and middle school, I was reserved
about who I was and opening up to
people. I made friends and had many
wonderful experiences those four
years, but still, was taunted and teased
because I was so passionate about
weather and still was on the course to
becoming a meteorologist. I excelled
at all my classes as well as in band and
track & field, but I was still deep-down
battling with low self esteem and a
constant need to be accepted by the
“popular girls” even if it meant being
someone I was not.
Thankfully, I had made an amazing
group of friends and had such strong
support from my teachers and coach-
es that I was able to overcome many
obstacles and graduated with honors,
ready to head to college to get the
degree I had wanted for so long. If I
could go back and tell my high school
self any advice, it would be to love who
I was no matter what anyone said, and
stay focused on the things that made
me happy and that I excelled at. It’s
not about being “popular” or trying to
make everyone like you…high school
is about discovering more about who
you are, and shining bright at what you
are passionate about!
As I soon learned, getting a degree in
meteorology is not an easy one. I had
four years of college including a heavy
emphasis of math and science, which I
found out was not my strongest side. It
was easier for me to get up in front of a
camera and ad-lib than it was for me to
remember formulas and calculate the
answers to word problems.
I even had one freshman year profes-
sor tell me to reconsider my career
because she didn’t think I could make
it through the program. It was a low
blow, but because it was a life long
dream and all of the support I had
over the years, I decided I would push
myself harder than ever to continue to
prove all the doubters wrong. There
were nights in the library I wanted to
give up and tests that I failed, but by
staying focused and believing in my-
self, I was able to graduate and within
just weeks get my first on-air meteorol-
ogist job.
Looking back, I am truly grateful that
I did not throw in the towel when it
got tough or decided to change courses
because others thought that was best
for me. Once you’ve decided your path,
stay focused on where you are going.
There will be moments you are point-
ed in a different direction, and people
who will try to set you off course, but
when you find that shining light within
yourself and keep strong faith and con-
fidence, you will get to where you need
to be. Even if some times it takes you
much longer than you might imagine,
you WILL get there!
I consider what I do a privilege and
opportunity to help change this world
in the most positive way...especially for
all those kids out there with the same
passion of knowing what they want to
do as a child and encouraging them to
rise above adversity and struggles to do
whatever they want.
My journey is far from being com-
plete, and if I could offer final words
of advice to anyone reading this, let
me share this. Embrace being unique
and different – people who are mean to
you and that make fun of you because
you think outside the box only do it
because they are weak and are trying
to steal the wind from your sails. Be
strong – you have the entire ocean in
front of you to explore and so many
more exciting adventures to embark
on!
The reason others choose not to like
you or to be mean to you is simply
because there’s something in you that
they want to be like or have…so be
flattered! Some of the most amazing
colors out there are far from the ordi-
nary, but they hold their own because
they are bold, beautiful, and different
than any other. Do not be afraid to
stand up for yourself or a friend to bul-
lies, hold your ground but also spread
positivity and never hate.
If you want something bad enough, the
ONLY person who can tell you it can-
not be done is YOU. YOUR opinions
and YOUR dreams should be the only
ones that matter, and choose to only
surround yourself with people who
support that. Sing every day the song
in your heart -- every single note and
beat defines you and no matter what
anyone says it will be the greatest hit
for the rest of your life! It just takes
one girl, with a big dream, with the
support of peers, and a passion to reach
the stars, to make a difference forever.
Shine and lead the way, because no one
can ever take away your light and legacy.

What STEM Does a Meteorologist Do?

Meteorologists may work on daily Atmospheric Researchers

weather forecasting, conduct atmo-
spheric research for the government,
private corporations or universities.
They also teach, broadcast the weather,
and provided valuable information on
potential weather formations for their
area.
Weather Forecasters
Using sophisticated computer models
(Technology) and data collected from
around the world they tailor forecasts
to their own local areas. While we often
think of broadcasters, there are many
more meteorologists who work behind
the scenes, often for government agen-
cies. There’s also a growing number of
private sector meteorologists working
for companies that specialize in pro-
viding highly specific information on
challenging weather events. (Engineer-
ing)
Atmospheric researchers study the
workings of the atmosphere (Science)
to better understand how it works,
and how it’s interconnected with our
planet’s waters. This connection often
leads atmospheric researchers to work
in tandem with oceanographers, hy-
drologists, environmental scientists,
physicists, and mathematicians to col-
lect and interpret data and study atmo-
spheric phenomena.
For example, different types of scien-
tists work together to study globally-
connected, complex issues like climate
change, and to predict its effects on
human beings and other species.

Clients may include power provid-

ers concerned about demand during
a heat spell, importers of agricultural
products, and sporting associations
concerned about weather during the
big game. Some airlines even have
their own meteorology departments.
They may also advise companies and
governments on the best locations for
wind farms. (Engineering)
Climatologists
Climatologists study historical climate
patterns to understand long-term
weather patterns and predict future cli-
matic shifts. Most climatologists study
global warming. They may use histor-
ical records in the form of written ac-
counts, or shifts “recorded” in ancient
ice or sediments. Paleoclimatologists
who study prehistoric climate con-
ditions often do fieldwork to retrieve
such physical evidence.
Meteorologists may become faculty
and teach at colleges or universities.
They may work for in-depth under-
graduate, graduate and Ph.D. pro-
grams, perform research, and direct
the research of graduate students, or
they may teach atmospheric science
classes that supplement the offerings
of related science programs. Studying
meteorology is also good training for
becoming a general science teacher at
the high school level.
Forensic Meteorologists
Forensic Meteorologists investigate and
provide information on weather condi-
tions at specific moments in the recent
past. Their work provides insight into
how weather may have played a role in
a traffic accident, fire, or other event
having monetary or legal ramifications.
Forensic meteorologists may testify in
court.
Meteorologists may also work on im-
proving weather-related technology,
such as data collection instruments
and computer models. They may also
work design informative digital weather
displays.

Amazing
Every day your heart beats about
100,000 times, sending 2,000 gallons
of blood surging through your body.
Although it’s no bigger than your fist,
your heart has the mighty job of keep-
ing blood flowing through the 60,000
miles of blood vessels that feed your
organs and tissues. Any damage to
the heart or its valves can reduce that
pumping power, forcing the heart to
work harder just to keep up with the
body’s demand for blood.

When it comes to matters of the heart,

men and women definitely aren’t
created equal. For instance, a man’s
heart weighs about 10 ounces, while a
woman’s heart weighs approximately 8
ounces.

Health experts now have proof that

laughter is good medicine. A good
belly laugh can send 20% more blood
flowing through your entire body. One
study found that when people watched
a funny movie, their blood flow in-
creased. That’s why laughter might just
be the perfect antidote to stress.
When you laugh, the lining of your
blood vessel walls relaxes and expands,
so have a good giggle. Your heart will
thank you.
The heart, vessels and entire circulation
system in your body is called the
Cardiovascular System. We all know
how important it is for life, and a
healthy Cardiovascular System leads to
a long and healthy life.
Let’s consider possible careers that deal
with the Cardiovascular System and
how they are STEM careers. From a
student nurse to a heart surgeon, the
choices are vast and the amount of
education required is vast also, but very
interesting and challenging.
Cardiovascular System
Cardiologists (heart doctors) play a
leading role in combating diseases and
conditions of the cardiovascular
system. They monitor, diagnose and
treat heart conditions through a variety
of non-surgical means, including med-
ications and management of lifestyle
factors. Some cardiologists also per-
form non-surgical procedures such as
angioplasties and stent insertion (tubes
and small balloons to open up the
blood vessel), using tiny instruments
inserted through a catheter into the pa-
tient’s blood vessels and then threaded
through the body to the trouble area.
 Stent: a small, expandable tube used for inserting in a blocked vessel or other part.
(science, technology, engineering and math; all necessary for the Stent)
Although medication and other treat-
ments can slow the progress of heart
disease, some patients require surgery
to repair or limit damage to the heart
and its supporting network of blood
vessels. This is the work of cardiac and
vascular surgeons. They perform
bypasses and open-heart surgery, as
well as valve repairs, and other
less-invasive (non-cutting) forms of
therapy.
Imaging Professionals
Cardiologists and cardiac surgeons
often rely on the work of imaging tech-
nologists to provide them with diag-
nostic insights. These are not doctors,
but high school graduates who have
attended a special school, from 1 year
to 4 years to learn the operation of the
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
and ultrasound technology that both
provide useful images of the heart in
operation, and ultrasound can help
diagnose blockages in the veins and
arteries by measuring blood flow.
Radiologists, who are doctors, review
these images and advise their fellow
physicians on their importance when
it comes to deciding (engineering) the
best treatment based on the pictures of
the heart.

At minimum, becoming an MRI tech
requires completion of an associate’s
degree in radiologic technology or a
related field, followed by 1-2 years of
additional study in an MRI technology
certificate program.
Training
MRI certificate programs include
variety of clinical settings. Newly hired
technicians complete a period of
on-the-job training during which they
shadow an experienced mentor.

Not all heart care is provided through
scheduled appointments and office
visits. Often, a heart attack or other
critical event is the patient’s first
indication of a problem. Stabilizing
patients and getting them to the hospi-
tal for treatment is the work of emer-
gency medical technicians and para-
medics. They’re trained to administer
medications, monitor the patient’s
condition, and, if necessary, to restore
a heartbeat with a controlled electrical
shock, or defibrillation.
Eating healthy is always good for the
heart, but many believe that exercise
is the key. The heart is one of the most
important organs in your body. This
powerful, compact muscle can fit in the
palm of your hand but controls many
of your body’s vital functions, so good
heart health is essential for a long,
independent life.
It’s important at every age to be pro-
active and pay attention to your heart.
Making a commitment to regular exer-
cise or playing hard, especially as you
get older, can bring positive benefits
that last well into your life. Regular
physical activity can help you build
strength and endurance, lower harm-
ful ingredients in your blood, like too
much fat (triglycerides) and keep the
blood pressure of your heart within a
healthy range. Vigorous exercise can
also increase good ingredients in your
blood, fight diabetes and keep you
body weight down to normal.
The STEM of heart careers
The science of heart careers (research,
study, jobs that directly help heart
health), the technology of heart
careers such as using the MRI, X-Ray
and heart monitoring equipment to
name a few electronic devices. The
heart engineering jobs (the engineer-
ing method that helps make important
decisions about how to treat the heart
or replace it), and the math of the heart
that determines amounts of medica-
tion, stress levels, your correct weight
for your height, how fast your heart
should beat per minute of exercise and
so much more.

cular field. It is great demand and offers

Exciting STEM Careers

or·tho·pe·dics [awr-thuh-pee-diks] noun

( used with a singular verb ) the medical specialty concerned with correction of defor-
mities or functional impairments of the skeletal system, especially the extremities and
the spine, and associated structures, as muscles and ligaments.
There are about 350 joints in the
human body. A joint is best defined as
the point where 2 bones meet. Damage
to joint can occur for many reasons,
but we can relate to sports related
injuries easily.
Most athletes that participate in athletic
activities will experience injuries from
time to time. We are going to discuss
the most common types of athletic
injuries, the areas the injuries affect,
symptoms of these injuries, and the
treatment and prevention of the most
frequent injuries experienced by
athletes.
Here is a list of the most common types
of athletic injuries athletes may expe-
rience and the area of the body that
will be affected. Notice that most of the
injuries athletes will experience will be
to the extremities of the body.
• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome - Wrist
A condition characterized by pain and
tingling in the fingers, caused by pres-
sure on a nerve as it passes under the
ligament situated across the front of
the wrist
• Tennis Elbow - Outside of the Elbow
A painful inflammation of the tissue
surrounding the elbow, caused by
strain from playing tennis and other
sports.
• Rotator Cuff Tendinitis - Shoulder
Athletes playing sports that require
extending the arm over the head
commonly develop rotator cuff ten-
dinitis. This is why the condition may
also be referred to as swimmer’s shoulder,
pitcher’s shoulder, or tennis shoulder.
• Chondromalacia Patella - Knee
The cartilage under your kneecap is a
natural shock absorber. Overuse, injury
or other factors may lead to a condi-
tion known as chondromalacia patella
(kon-droh-muh-LAY-shuh puh-TEL-
uh) — a general term indicating dam-
age to the cartilage under your knee-
cap.
• Illiotibial Band Friction (ITBF)
Syndrome - Knee
Iliotibial band friction syndrome
(ITBFS) is an overuse injury. It
happens in the soft tissues in the lower
thigh near the outside of the knee. The
iliotibial band (ITB) is a thick band
of fibrous tissue. It runs from the hip
down the outside of the thigh and
attaches to the tibia. The tibia is the
large bone of the lower leg.
• Shin Splints - Front of lower leg,
along tibia bone
A painful condition of the front lower
leg, associated with tendinitis, stress
fractures, or muscle strain, often
occurring as a result of running or oth-
er strenuous athletic activity, especially
on a non-resilient surface.
Many sports requires excessive run-
ning.

• Plantar Fasciitis - Heel, bottom of

foot.
Plantar fasciitis causes pain in the
bottom of the heel. The plantar fascia
is a thin ligament that connects your
heel to the front of your foot. It supports
the arch in your foot and is important
in helping you walk. Plantar fasciitis is
one of the most common orthopedic
complaints.

• Achilles Tendinitis - Heel and calves

An Achilles tendon injury affects
professional and amateur athletes alike.
The Achilles tendon is one of the lon-
ger tendons in your body, stretching
from the bones of your heel to your
calf muscles. You can feel it -- a springy
band of tissue at the back of your ankle
and above your heel. It allows you to
extend your foot and point your toes to
the floor.

Unfortunately, it’s a commonly injured

tendon. Many Achilles tendon injuries
are caused by tendinitis, in which the
tendon becomes swollen and painful.
In a severe Achilles tendon injury, too
much force on the tendon can cause it
to tear partially or rupture completely.
Careers in medical technology are
changing by the day. New innovations
in surgical procedures that seem like
science fiction now will be antiques by
the time you graduate and create the
latest approaches to treating and heal-
ing patients.

Not all of these opportunities require

college degrees, but you have to have
the interest and curiosity to explore
the possibilities. That starts NOW.
Concussions are becoming more and
more of a problem but do not fall
under the realm of Orthopedics.
With so many joints and so many peo-
ple injuring them, orthopedic jobs
will always be in demand. Having to
cut into the human body to get to the
joints presents a long list of problems
for infections, healing times, damage to
nerves, blood vessels and more. Here
is where new technologies can really
make a difference.
Orthopedic jobs encompass an array
of specialties including surgery, podia-
try (foot doctor), chiropractic care and
veterinarian care. While each of these
pinpoints a specific orthopedic special-
ty, other careers that do not require a
medical degree may also be classified
as orthopedic jobs.
A few of these include an occupational
therapist, an orthopedic nurse or an
orthopedic physician’s assistant. All
jobs within the scope of orthopedics,
however, require varying degrees of
medical training emphasizing muscu-
loskeletal care.
One of the most common types of
orthopedic specialties is the orthope-
dic physician. These are doctors who
specialize in the care and treatment of
musculoskeletal injuries or damage to
the muscles, tendons and tissue sur-
rounding the joint.
Many physicians working within this
field choose to become orthopedic
surgeons who specialize in performing
surgeries to correct these problems.
Other specialties relevant to orthopedic
jobs for physicians include working
with elderly adults in geriatric ortho-
pedics and working with children in
pediatric orthopedics.
Orthopedic specialties in podiatry are
also commonly pursued by physicians
and others interested in corrective
medicine. Podiatrists may work in
general practice and many frequently
work with orthopedic physicians and
surgeons when necessary. Some podi-
atrists, however, also specialize in or-
thopedics. Individuals working in these
types of orthopedic jobs are commonly
found to work in sports medicine or in
pediatric orthopedics.
Some occupational therapists also
specialize in orthopedics. Many work
in hospital settings or in clinics. Indi-
viduals working within these particular
orthopedic jobs frequently work with
athletes, as well as aging populations.
As a sub-specialty, occupational
therapists specializing in orthopedics
help patients regain strength, balance
and coordination, while also working
with doctors to correct other musculo-
skeletal dysfunctions.

Chiropractors frequently specialize in
orthopedic jobs. Many work in ortho-
pedic hospitals and in rehabilitation
facilities. While all legitimate chiro-
practors are trained in elements of
orthopedic medicine, some decide to
solely focus on this specialty in post-
doctoral education before receiving
specialist certification in this area.
Besides doctors, other types of ortho-
pedic jobs include orthopedic nurse
positions and physician’s assistants.
Beyond the general training needed for
either of these professions, individuals
must also be trained in aspects of or-
thopedic medicine so as to assist other
orthopedic specialists.
Many begin working in a general prac-
tice setting before deciding to pursue
additional training or experience in
orthopedics.
Not all orthopedic jobs focus on the
human musculoskeletal system, how-
ever. An orthopedic vet, for instance,
is a veterinarian who specializes in the
care and rehabilitation of animals with
congenital birth defects, diseases or
those that have sustained injury due to
an accident. As with doctors who work
with humans, vets specializing in this
genre of medicine must also undergo
extensive orthopedic training before
being able to work in this particular
field.
The main advantages of robot-assisted
orthopedic surgery over conventional
orthopedic techniques are improved
accuracy and precision in the prepara-
tion of bone surfaces, more reliable and
reproducible outcomes, and greater
spatial accuracy. Orthopedic surgery is
ideally suited for the application of
robotic systems. Robotic systems can
be categorized as either passive or ac-
tive devices, or can be categorized as
positioning or milling/cutting devices.
Computer assisted orthopedic surgery
is a related area of technological
development in orthopedics; however,
robot-assisted orthopedic surgery can
achieve levels of accuracy, precision,
and safety not capable with computer
assisted orthopedic surgery.
Over 210,000 patients die yearly due to hospital
mistakes….human error. Not all of these are surgical
mistakes, but how can we ignore numbers like these in
light of possible technology solutions?

Applications of robot-assisted orthope-

dic surgery currently under investiga-
tion include total hip and knee replace-
ment, tunnel placement for reconstruc-
tion of knee ligaments, and trauma and
spinal procedures.

Robot-assisted orthopedic surgery is

quickly becoming common place
and has the potential to transform the
