Hear from local scientists, tour the New York State Mesonet operations center, explore the big globe in UAlbany’s Science-on-a-Sphere Room and even watch weather balloon launches from the ETEC parking lot! At 11a.m., kids can enjoy a special program with career advice from UAlbany alum and Channel 13 meteorologist Christina Talamo!
