Join NCAS’s Introduction to Atmospheric Science course in January

Thank you for explaining your bain focus and that's all fine. My contents were as an observation purely for your consideration in seeking to explore the best opportunities for your students development. My days of study are probably over given they I had to retire some 8+ years ago following a sudden massive stroke. Thank you for the information on other courses. My mind is still very active and my thinking as 'disruptive' as ever. Good luck going forward, I wish you only the very best.

What a great course this has the potential to be. However why is it only targeted at PhDs and not open to anyone with a deep interest in atmospheric science. My background as a 'layman' but with a general science background & havingbeen both a government research customer and a disruptive thinker, is that I was able to add value/challenge many a scientist, admittedly thus far mainly in the classical sciences and in nuclear physics, but I have come across a degree of 'formal science qualification' arrogance over the years that has invariably,soon been toned down by working with me and my testing thoughts. Experts I've found are very good, even great in their specific disciplines but can fail all too often to look unconventionally at the problem they're facing and can miss some fundamental opportunities to innovate by focusing in on extreme detail or not considering it's practical application. What I believe works very well is a mix of deep science expertise with intelligent disruptive thinkers, clearly armed with enough general and subject matter knowledge to challenge the logic of what they've just heard or read and are prepared to question conventional thinking, would add great value to the course.
