Regan Mudhar
PhD Researcher & Weather Co-Editor-in-Chief
Hello!
I'm Regan, a final year PhD researcher, studying the "stratospheric pathway" linking polar climate to midlatitude weather and climate extremes.I am also passionate about inclusive and accessible science - so when I'm not sat behind my laptop, you can probably find me sharing science with the public (or at a gig!) somewhere...
