Being honored with an award tied to the legacy of Richard Carrington holds profound significance. His name is instantly recognizable and synonymous with a pioneering spirit, adding depth to this recognition. I thank the nominating team and awards committee for selecting me. My journey in this field, though unconventional, has been enriched by the unwavering support of colleagues within AGU and the American Meteorological Society (AMS). My passion for public outreach began while collaborating with pioneers in space radiation effects at the Aerospace Corporation—Dr. Michael Meshishnek, founder of the Space Environmental Effects Laboratory, and Dr. Joe Fennell of the Space Science Applications Laboratory. Working alongside them revealed the challenge of communicating the complexities of space environmental hazards to industry stakeholders. In fact, it was during a conversation with Joe, fresh from his role in the 2003 National Research Council Decadal Survey, that a lighthearted discussion of space weather forecasting on The Weather Channel sparked something in me, leaving a lasting impact on my trajectory. Collaboration with groundbreaking citizen science initiatives like Aurorasaurus and HamSCI.org, led by Dr. Liz MacDonald at NASA and Dr. Nathaniel Frissell at the University of Scranton, respectively, has been a privilege. Alongside my esteemed colleagues, Dr. Nariaki Nitta at the Lockheed Martin Solar and Astrophysics Laboratory and Dr. Erika Palmerio at Predictive Science, their collective dedication in bridging the gap between scientists and the broader online community of nearly 200,000 people we now serve, is immeasurable. I owe immense gratitude to the Space Weather and Environment Science (SWEN) team—Dr. Rich Clark and Dr. Sepi Yalda, both at Millersville University; Dr. Jinni Meehan at the National Weather Service/NOAA; and Mr. Michael Cook at MITRE. Their patience, perseverance, and sacrifice made the remote-learning SWEN graduate program a resounding success. Over 40 meteorology students have been trained in space weather forecasting, policy, and communication since 2020. This achievement has led Millersville University to cosponsor the Operational Space Weather Fundamentals course at the International Space Science School in 2024, expanding opportunities for student training internationally. I reserve my deepest appreciation for the late Dr. Matt Parker, former AMS president, whose belief in integrating space weather expertise into meteorology and broadcast TV news media was instrumental in fueling my vision. His early support played a pivotal role in reshaping the narrative of heliophysics as the weather of the 21st century. —Tamitha Mulligan Skov, Millersville University, Millersville, Pa.
