I came with my family to help out and also participate in our first face-to-face Smithsonian event since the pandemic and we weren’t disappointed.

This month we are delighted to be spotlighting Karen Smith. Karen is a fun, positive, no-holds-barred force of nature. Those of us who have had the pleasure of working with her know that she is always on top of everything and if she doesn’t know the answer, she knows where to find it!

SSAI has consistently been awarded one of the Washington Posts’ Top Workplaces in the DC area and 2022 is no different!

Congratulations to SSAI's Dr. Craig Pelissier and the winning team he assembled as Principal Investigator for his recently-selected TERRAHydro proposal for NASA's Advanced Information Systems Technology (AIST-21) Program!

Claire Robinson, a Scientific Programmer/Analyst at SSAI and part of the Sonde Measurement of Atmospheric Layers at Langley (SMALL) Group, presented the latest statistics and relevant work utilizing the newly acquired Advanced Vertical Atmospheric Profiling System (AVAPS) Dropsonde system at the recent AVAPS Dropsondes Users Meeting.

For our June SSAI Spotlight, we sat down with Scientific Programmer/Analyst Almut Pingel to learn about her experience moving to the US, joining SSAI during the pandemic, and the path that led her here.
