Please join us for the popular AMS program "23|5 Talks."

This year, four speakers will present topics of interest for meeting attendees as well as the general public:
Bill Gail, Global Weather Corporation

- Naomi Oreskes, Harvard University
- Bill Read, former head National Hurricane Center
Following the talks, we are also pleased to be screening the feature-length documentary film, “Merchants of Doubt,” based on the 2010 book by Naomi Oreskes and Erik M. Conway.
