Lily Muller researched how to create accurate and effective warning communication products about pediatric vehicular heatstroke deaths
Hi everyone! My name is Lily Muller, and I am a 2021 Hollings Scholar, and Meteorology and Atmospheric Sciences student at Penn State University Park. Growing up in the D.C. area, I experienced all kinds of weather that sparked my interest in meteorology. With hazardous weather like winter storms, tropical systems, and thunderstorms came safety and property risks. I began to learn that messaging is really important in determining how people react to different weather hazards.
