Lets Talk About The Weather

Vilhelm Bjerknes famed physicist, meteorologist, and eyeglass wearer did much to found the modern practice of weather forcasting. He is a legend in meteorolgy circles with a crater on the Moon & Mars named after him. Turns out he is the great great Uncle of our close friends Phil “Gates” Bjerknes and his sister Anna Bjerknes (who is interning with us this summer). Genius definitely runs in the family.
